I watched Montel Williams on Oprah telling about his daily struggle and pain from MS every day. It was very much the struggle many cancer patients and survivors endure everyday. He was not giving up and was doing everything he knew to do to beat that illness. My motto is I live everyday In The Moment. I am cancer survivor 2 years. Cancer free. Have some issues with soreness from a reversal, but I'm slowly overcoming that. God bless everyone. We all must live day to day, and love every day we're given.

    What a trooper that guy is. I always admired him. I actually had a friend diagnosed with MS years ago. He was also a "strong marine" and tried for years not to let it get to him. He ended up as a bad alcoholic. He didn't make it in the end. His alcoholism, mixed with the debilitating pain from the MS, along with too many personal problems, it was too much for him and he ended his life. I wish some of Montel's story could have been told while Randy was still alive.
