Hi Sally,

You are here helping us out, with your posts and emails, always cheering us on and giving us support and those wonderful (((hugs))) and prayers!

Dean thought his doctor would tell him he was too weak for the trial, but Dr. Miranda told Dean it is his only option, and if he wanted to try, to do it. I think emotionally it helped Dean, he does now have that hope that he so desperately needed.

I wasn't sure who Jimmy Valvano was, but Dean did. Dean said he died from cancer at a young age and he had been a college basketball coach. I read some more about him online, what an outlook he had on life.

In our lowest moments we will try to keep remembering to "Never, ever give up"!

Thank you Sally, I hope you know how special you are, you are my angel! :-)


Lots of (((hugs))) back to you, I wish I could give them to you in person!

Patti and Dean
