Dear Alicia,
Your Uncle may have leukemia but I would never consider it fatal. The
only wepons someone with cancer has is the will to live supported by
faith and hope. Only God knows when one will die...that's what makes
living life such an exciting journey!
I think you will find alot of information, hope, and encouragement from
Ron. He is going through treatment for leukemia and has proven to be one
courageous fellow who has a heart as big as New York City! I'm sure he
can assist in your search for answers.
Keep faith and God Bless.
John
