Hey, tell Tony to hang in there and don’t let this thing get the best of him. My dad, a coal miner at the time, was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 1989. He was too onery to give up, and it took him a while, but he beat it. In the meantime, we had some big medical bills too and we managed to survive, although it was hard for a couple of years.

Thank you, Virginia Ridgerunner. I think you just told Tony yourself.

If you had a chance to watch the interview with Brian Lamb, he makes clear how important it is to him that people with their survival stories tell him. And it helps. He said that he would like to do the same for other cancer patients.

Here’s the link to the video
