Being able t...Thank you Frank, Elle and Nannette. <br /><br />Being able to share the story firsthand, rather than have a grief stricken spouse and family do it, is something I wish that many other people will have the chance to do.<br /><br />We are making progress. Detection rates are up, but so are incidences of early treatment success. That means we are keeping more people with us and their suffering is being mitigated. While that is great news, our work is not done. <br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by, sharing your stories and raising awareness of the fight we must all take up.<br /><br />JasonJason Phelpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14877600888412262376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703965921091069609.post-47260662153908199252012-03-28T23:25:02.245-04:002012-03-28T23:25:02.245-04:00Well, I disagree with Morgan -- I think pink is yo...Well, I disagree with Morgan -- I think pink is your color -- you rock that boa!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story and it's inspirational.<br /><br />Illness changes how you view the world. I had a stoke when I was in my early twenties and had to learn to talk again (I know -- muteness would have been a blessing for the world...) <br /><br />Keep fighting the good fight.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Nannette EatonWine Harlotshttp://wineharlots.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703965921091069609.post-35941415897599454672012-03-28T11:24:28.673-04:002012-03-28T11:24:28.673-04:00You rock.

My gramma's fight with lymphoma started last January and now she fights other monsters because of her immune system being shot. And knowing all she can do right now is lay in the hospital and fight from her bed, I signed up for a half-marathon with Team in Training. I hate running. I still can't believe I'm doing it. But it's the only way I find I can show my support and sincere respect and admiration for the fight she's putting up. And a gramma with the name Billie Jean is worth the effort.

It reminds me that I am making a difference - but that I can only do it because of the people who are supporting me. And that it really does matter.<br /><br />Rock on, Jason! Looking forward to seeing you in Portland for WBC (:elle potterhttp://www.allthelittlebluebirds.com/?page_id=2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703965921091069609.post-46383891982180096782012-03-28T11:23:35.116-04:002012-03-28T11:23:35.116-04:00I appreciate your story - thanks for sharing this ...I appreciate your story - thanks for sharing this with your friends and readers here! Look forward to the next part of the series here. Sadly we've all been touched by cancer in some way (wish it wasn't so), but advocates like you supporting organizations/events like Relay For Life will hopefully lead to a cure.<br /><br />All the best to you!<br /><br />PS -- I'm not sure pink is really your color ;) , but you wear the boa well for the cause.Frank Morganhttp://www.drinkwhatyoulike.comnoreply@blogger.com
