Really bummed to hear that. EFF cancer, it's everywhere seemingly. Taking the summer off to try and help my Dad who has prostate cancer. Just can't believe we still haven't found a way to beat this dreadful disease yet.

As to cancer, I, along with millions of others I'd guess, share your frustration and bewilderment regarding the lack of a cure...We've come so far with so many other things...I don't get it.
