Tribute

I have thought and thought about this. I am afraid that I don't have an answer.

Honey, it was so thoughtful of you to try and come up with a way of tribute to those who have fought bravely and not won with these diseases. They should be honored in any way that we can.

Neil, you are absolutely right about the scare factor. The new people on the forum would certainly be taken aback by a "section" devoted to this.

Maybe it is better, as was suggested, for a new thread to be started. Then people can express their thoughts and wishes for the family members.

This is NEVER easy! Doug's regular oncologist told him yesterday, that he "hopes" he can just make it through the upcoming treatments before the transplant. He went on to say that he is at such an "iffy" age. I can't tell you how I am still reeling from that one! Thank God his doctors at Loyola have been positive and encouraging.

For every thoughtless remark we have to endure, there are twice as many encouraging ones on these forums. I thank God that I have found you all!
