VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

Val,

You are truly a survivor; and my personal defintion of that survivor is:

"someone who beats the odds fighting and as well, who also mentors others to beat the odds with them". Publishing an article on your personal struggle with breast cancer takes an extraordinary amount of courage! Let us not forget that "Cancer", in the eyes of many is still someone else's problem, the plague, contagious, a disease of the wicked AND, "Last year 1/2 of all Bankruptcies filed, over 800,000, were Medical Bankruptcies" ( http://www.mercola.com/2004/jul/14/medical_debt.htm ), a disease of the desitute!

We have a long way to go and and the public has to recognizes that this disease knows no boundries. Efforts like yours, and Christine and Joe's; go a long way in finding a cure.
Thank you for reaching-out for us all,

Al
