To Holly’s plight, best of luck in your remaining time. You are a credit to BR and deserve all the peace you can find. Truly a loss for an area that is short on positive personalities.

I logged quite a few hours there.

You and me both. My trips there started with my father in 1969 and ended with my mother in 2015 with a couple of siblings in between. My sister and Holly grew up together and I’ve known her since I was a little kid. She doesn’t deserve this but no one does.

As someone who has lost 6 immediate family members to various cancers I can say sometimes time running out is a gift. She has been blessed with one of God’s greatest gifts and earthly blessings, that of a family complete. And the outpouring of support and kind thoughts are a testament to her good fortune while living life here on earth.

The doctor refused to let my mom in the trial. She was dead 6 weeks later.

My father in law was receiving treatment at Md Anderson for lung cancer. He was treated well by staff and we were given an extra year and a half with him because of it.

He did get accepted into a trial program. He took his first dose and died 4 weeks later.

I hope you aren't blaming the Dr's for your mom's death. Cancer sucks and the experimental programs are just that, experimental.

Happens a lot, MD Anderson is a machine now. Treatment and selection is money driven and whether or not it will negatively effect their reported numbers.

I take my C-60 everyday.

If you are ignorant about c-60, it’s worth a trip to the google/YouTube machine if you have health and/or cancer worries.

Hey Holly, thanks for autographing your first cook book for my daughter as a mother’s day gift to my wife and her mother.
