    It is truly amazing what can be done within ones' disabilities, whatever they may be...

    Makes me very happy that 'all' I had was cancer....

    what i did with my life for 58 1/2 years WITHOUT cancer (or without me knowing I had a tumor brewing); this kid, now young man, was BORN the way he is......steve
