Thanks for your posts. I have started a blog of my own, partly inspired by your efforts. If you would like to follow along on MY journey through chemo, now that yours is winding up, you will find me at salemor.blogspot.com.

Megan,
Your courage is inspiring. Thank you for writing about this.
I hope you go visit Spencer in Japan. I know that he would love to see you and it would be so great for the two of you to spend time together there.
Love,
Randy
