Herman Cain (Republican) is a stage IV colon cancer survivor and is running for President. He will be participating in the debate tonight. I am not trying to start a political debate here, just an FYI.

Hugs,
Sara

    Wow
    That is awesome (not that he got it but he is a survivor) and didn't even know that. Yes, Pepe, maybe this will bring awareness to CRC.

    The Odds
    I think we have better odds of winning than he does!
    I hope it does raise awareness though, that would be a plus.
    I remember when Farah Fawcett was overshadowed by MJ's death
    (aye, aye, aye!)

    Oppps
    That didn't come out right...
    I meant I think we have a better chance of winning than he does at becoming president.
    It's great he beat cancer. Maybe he did it with his Godfather's Pizza?
