He Won His Battle With Cancer

Please read this TIME article. It was written by BILL SAPORITO. He is a cancer survivor and he is doing his best to help make cancer a national priority. the following is the opening paragraph which definately grabs your attention.

"Got cancer? It's all the rage. Actress Christina Applegate, Senator Ted Kennedy, Olympic swimmer Eric Shanteau, columnist Robert Novak are just the highest profile of the 1.4 million Americans who will get a diagnosis of cancer this year. Walk into the oncology waiting room of a hospital and you'll find it hard not to notice the crowd--or the balding heads, the yellow faces, that gaunt prisoner-of-war look of those who are well into their chemotherapy. You stare blankly across the room at the others staring blankly back, everyone silently asking the question: Am I going to make it? When you're facing that kind of primal question, you say to yourself, "Well, at least I'm not alone." And that is precisely the problem. You are not."
