    How does this happen?
    Jimbo did everything "right". He went to the right doctors, he took treatment well, and had such a good outlook - both medically (initially) and personally.

    EC is a beast!

    My sympathies to Jimbo's family. I pray for a cure to be found - soon!

    We will miss you
    Jimbo,

    What a kind, caring, and positive person Jimbo was. He always evaluated his circumstances, not just as how they affected him, but how they affected the people around him. Even his last wish he posted on our forum was to make his next anniversary with his wife. My heart breaks to hear this news. May God gather Jimbo in his loving arms and carry him home.

    With my deepest condolences,

    RIP Jimbo
    Too young, too much talent lost, too sad. One more of our online family gone. I will have his family and freinds in my prayers.

    I'm so sad, too. Terry you
    I'm so sad, too. Terry you are so right to ask, "How can this happen?" Jimbo did everything right, just like you and Nick did, just like Judy and Don did, etc etc. EC is a vicious monster. Praying for all those who have lost loved ones and for all who still fight and for a CURE and for getting docs and insurance companies educated TO BE PROACTIVE and find this monster when it's barely getting started.
