Mark...so very touching. So very sorry for your grief.
And condolences to everyone here who is grieving.
Ger715 .... Good for you for doing what your instincts are telling you is the right thing to do for you. If you haven't done so already, you might want to check into a website called Chrisbeatcancer. It is fabulous. He had surgery and no chemo or radiation, did a clean diet and supplements and it's been something like ten years (not sure exactly) and he (Chris) is doing great!
