I'm with you, Richard. I was diagnosed with lymphoma in 1996. After surgery and radiation that made me want to be dead, I met my wife, had 4 sons (that after I was told the radiation would make me sterile) ... and now I'm doing what I've always wanted to do ... write.

Continued health and God Bless,

Richard Stephenson Great answer to the friend question I put up - the more the merrier if you ask me!

My answer on the single thing that has made my life change for the better? Not letting cancer get me down and realizing (more and more each day) that there is a reason I am still here. A lovely wife, 2 kids, and a much more definite purpose in hand... after 12 years and counting! Thank you for asking Gerard. :)

Gerard Marigny It's gr8 connecting with you here Beth. I really enjoy making friends with so many talented storytellers.

It makes me feel less isolated sitting at my desk all day. Probably a good thing for us to interact with 'real' real people as opposed to our real-fictional characters!
