Susan, nhwife, so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He has earned his rest and take some comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain and that you provided him with so much support and love. If love could...

Just posted the same article. Dr.Chin is amazing. Does sound promising....
Interesting new procedure being tested in London, Ontario. Sounds promising for cases where cancer has not spread. If Brian Danter had his choice, he’d have hopped on his bike and driven from Windsor...
Jitters, best of luck to you both....a hard decision to make but happy he will be where his heart wants to be. Gentle hugs....
Hugs to you and Bob ((())) When you hear people say that if you have to have cancer that prostate is the one to have I could just flatten them! It's a terrible monster :(...
Sending healing vibes and prayers your way. God definately has a plan for him :)...
Jitters, don't know what to say. My heart breaks for you and yours. I believe they just get so tired of the pain and the never ending testing that takes so much out of them. If he feels he wants to...

So sorry to read this today. Craig was so supportive to others even with everything he was going through. When Jerry lost his battle his kind words meant so much to me. He is at peace now, no longer...
David, sure hope things get cleared up for you and your wife. Health problems are bad enough without worrying about finances. Not that WCB really cares about that. Take care of yourself....
Thank you to everyone for your kind words. Two and a half years ago PC did not have much meaning in our life and overnite it took over so much of our lives. We learned more medical terminology then...
