Jerry,

Interesting perspective. I am a cancer survivor, having beaten melanoma over
25 years ago. It is certainly disturbing to see young people go through the
ordeals of cancer, but I can tell you from my perspective, I grew up very
fast visiting the cancer clinic. Although I had a very slim chance of
pulling though, I was essentially a healthy, young teenager sitting in a
waiting room with people who appeared far more ill than I was. My cancer
never "ravaged" my body, but it was real nonetheless -- and I had four vists
to the operating room. But I never really considered my self "unfortunate".
Perhaps it was my youthful naivity, but I guess I also somehow knew that it
was out of my hands as to what would happen.

Jim
