I would love to be able to go back and erase all the smoking I did in my teens/early twenties. Shits so bad for you

Roger, you almost described my med at $10k per month, approved for use in 2014. I have prostate cancer. Wishing you the best!

I was just diagnosed with Classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Staging PET is tomorrow. The improvement in treating this disease has vastly improved over the past few decades.

I happen to live half a mile from one of the best cancer centers in the country, so that's a cancer bonus.

I agreed to participate in a 5-year tracking study, so I have to make it.

Roger, best of luck. You're one of the few people here that stay level-headed. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis but glad you're fighting strong.
