    I saw this wonderful man on Oprah.  This link was sent to me in my email.  It's so worth watching.  I wonder whatever happened to him.

    This guy is incredible...I have been visiting his website regularly since I first saw his lecture on CNN months ago. He posts updates concerning his daily life and treatment, etc.

    If you're interested in following his journey...

    Know what? I am always humbled by people who have a worst diagnosis than we BC patients. This man, is a true hero. I feel for him, but he has seem to taken life and grasped it by the balls and ran with it!!

    Ya know...he has grasped it. But the reality is that he openly cried during one of his interviews. It made me realize that he is strong, but he is aware and sad of the impending outcome. I admire his strength, but I sympathize with his plight. He is bringing to light the reality of terminal disease in a very intelligent and wise way. He is remarkable.

    Wow!  Thanks Shirley.  What an inspiration for so many.  As I sit here, I looked at the video and said how can this man be dying.  He looks so good.  Reminded me how sneaky cancer can be.   This entire video was awesome.  I would like to think of myself and tiger and loved what he said regarding an apology.

    Thank you for sharing this.  Its Saturday and Im feeling a bit humble but very proud.
