Because of the nature and stage at which the cancer was detected, standard treatments were deemed insufficient. Thus, Renee is now in clinical trials using a regimen of chemotherapy drugs and radiation that should give her a better fighting chance. I am among many who are sufficient evidence of the power of prayer in the recovery from cancer. Many here will remember back to 2004 when I was diagnosed with malignant pancreatic cancer and later suffered a prolonged hospital stay with multiple complications...

Higgins ~ The Associated Press GENEVA -- The only family member to talk openly about Osama bin Laden describes him as pious and merciless, a man so driven by his beliefs that he once denied a water bottle to his own infant son in the heat of the Saudi desert.
