Thanks everyone! It has really inspired me that if my 81 year old Dad can go through what he has been through, than why in the world would I give up on my Directorship without the same kind of fight!
 
WOO HOO!!!
:party:So glad to hear your Dad is cancer free!!! What a relief!!!:party:

During the last week in October my parents and I head to Bufflalo to get my Dad's one year check up at Roswell Park from lung cancer. We are hoping for the same results!! He has been doing good. He is 76 and has been through quite a bit of surgeries in the last 3 years.
