Rudy, Citrus Heights, CA I too, have been diagnosed with colon cancer. I am a Stage 3C. I had a quarter of my colon removed and the ascension level along with 7 lymph nodes. I am just starting my second round of chemo. You are an inspiration to me to hear of your struggle. I can only hope that I can stay in tune with life and overcome the disease that causes so many to succumb to it. Thank you for letting me share....

Carla, Hendrum Hi Dale I am sitting here with my mom, your aunt (MaryAnn) She says she is so glad that she took time to come out to see you and your mom and dad this summer. She is glad you are doing well and says to take care of yourself. She sends her love and is glad you are stubborn like your daddy!!! I guess she remembers that from when you were the little boy who traveled to Jamestown, ND years ago. Keep up the good fight. We continue to send extra prayers your way. Love Carla (Will) Torgerson
