WISDOM OF CANCER TRAVELERS AND HELPERS

My support group at Cancer Recovery Foundation of America has seen me through all stages of my journey. They have cried with me and laughed with me, but, most importantly, they have given me hope. It is a weekly toll free telephone group (call 800-238-6479 to register). Anyone can join. It is moderated by Reverend Michael Gingerich, an exceptionally caring and supportive person. The following is dedicated to them and to all the wise and hopeful sayings which they have shared.

To Avril, Eddy, Robert, Charlotte, Ann Marie, Candis, Cindy, Renee, Janice, Bill, Grant, Dennis, Priscilla, Mel, Susan, Jackie, Debbie, Joceyln, Mary Ann, Janet, Jack, Debra, Howard, Temma, Beth, Sandra, Steve, Terri, Suzanne, Sheldon, Kim, and so many others. I apologize if I cannot remember who said what. God bless you all.
