I read Leroy's daily blog too, and yes, it bothers me that he isn't doing well. He's fought hard.

I also found out that a lady I worked with has a brain tumor. She's under 40.
I found out a local pastor had kidney tumors. They were removed and so far he's doing well.
I was also told that my SIL found a lump in her breast, and this is after having surgery last fall for removal of a melanoma on her leg. She's having a biopsy soon.
A lady that lives next door to my niece, had BC years ago and had surgery for an ovarian tumor. The CA had spread to her bowels and more. She's having a rough time, but fighting hard.

All this, and others I know that have passed from cancer, some still too darn young, are what make up the urge for me to do something for fellow CA patients. I do what I can in letting them know that some help is available in 2 local organizations.
I wish I could do more, but I'm not doing well physically myself. I have no idea if mine is CA or treatment related, but hopefully will find out soon.
Then I plan to get more involved in helping others.
