Re the NY times article, my original comment I was simply trying to say that the article reminded me of what could/might happen....and it gave me a temporary "bummer moment".....and it seems I was foolish enough to put it in writing...I did say that there is hope, research is being done, things >are happening for the good, and I will just take it one step at a >time and one day at a time...there is a good future...we just need >to ride out the present....pray for the future pray for the future.. work to get the Udall bill money put into research, etc......I am not "in denial" and I do know Stage V is there, that it might happen to me and I will be dealing, coping, living with it if/when it comes....my "head is not in the sand" but I prefer to live in the present doing what I can to help myself today which will help me in the tomorrows that will come. What's that poem that someone wrote in about awhile back about not looking at the past/future but today as it was a gift and that's why they call it the present. I believe that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it and I am doing it my way and the best way I can. ....there is hope, research is being done, things >are happening for the good, and I will just take it one step at a >time and one day at a time...... Again, thank you, Janet/Barb for the reality check. Michel Margosis....hope you don't mind, to plagiarize your words....... CARPE DIEM!!!!! Joan Hartman
