Dan and Frans - your wives look fantastic, and we all know that's because they married well. I'm happy for you that you're headed into happier days, because I know the pain of being on that journey, when you're in a tunnel with a bend in it and you can't see the sunshine on the other end for a while.

Great pictures!

Frans,
Great to hear of the success you and Anne have achieved. The beginning is the scariest because you're forced to take it all in. My wife and I are well past that and hope to help and encourage others to fight and win.
Again, we can't thank everybody enough.

No apologies needed Jim, I hardly mention this. Only, I felt that I had to contribute to Dan's story. And as a testament to what one can achieve by never giving up. Power to all that have to fight this fight!

Thanks for your wonderful stories, Dan and Frans. Makes all of us appreciate the true value of good health and how nice life has been to us.

Health most certainly is wealth!! And that's all Zemina and I ever pray for. Good health and our beloved family. What more can anyone ask for? (Except, of course, for some great tossers on TRF!!)
