I have a nice story for you. We were in treatment tonight. We had to go late today. While we were waiting for the Cytotron machine to become available we were greeted by a man whose wife was in the machine at the time being treated for a brain tumor that had spread from her lungs. He came over to Jake who was laying with his head on my lap, still wiped out from being sick and said "Jake, I want you to know that the reason I am here is because I read your article in the newspaper. If it was not for you I would not be here. The blog and the press are doing good things to help people. As you know, before we left Jakes psychologist (Yes, when you have cancer everyone in the family has access to free counseling although I think I would rather not have cancer and get a free trip to Las Vegas). Anyway, before Jake left, Anke his pschyologist said:
"Jake, are you going to India because you want to?" "Jake said no, that he was nervous about going there. Then she said "Well, are you going because your Dad wants you to?" This time he laughed and said "No!"
Finally she asked him why he was going. He said "Because if this works, maybe I can help save more people and children"
It is good to see some some potentially good things coming out of all of this.
Sincerely "Proud Father"
