		<description>My brother&#039;s food choice when he was getting chemo was tacos!!  The spicier the better, even though they told him not to eat spicy food.  I&#039;d get in trouble if I didn&#039;t bring the hottest stuff.  Thanks for writing this, I know it cannot be easy.  20 years have passed since big Bro passed and I still miss him.... he used to fix my bike for free you know!!  :(</description>

		<description>Fatty,

Keep on writing your book and take your time with the other things.  You show much grace and strength.  I went through a different kind of trajedy eight years ago.. You are so right. Every situation is different and sometimes the comments by others seem to have their own agenda. Look at all the good you have done.  I know Susan is proud of you.</description>

		<description>To the folks who paint (WIN w/ teardrop) at the top of every nasty climb in San Diego County...thank you! It always make me drop a tear, for Susan and the FC/Cancer family which I am sadly also a part of. Peace a safe riding.</description>

		<description>Elden....all I can say is that you and your family have a lot of courage.  It is hard for me to read this as I have had soooo much cancer in my family...it is reliving it over and over that is hard.

But we all need you  to put it all in print for us and I am thankful you are writing such an inciteful book to share with others.  thank you.

		<description>Wait, Joss Whedon, LOTR &amp; X-files are geeky? 

Next thing you know someone will say Stargate is geeky.

Elden - I admired Susan, not knowing her, because of what you said about her in past posts. But when you revealed that Susan liked Joss Whedon stuff a couple of years ago, I liked her even more.

Takes one to know one, I guess.</description>

		<description>Marty - if you happen to check the comments, it&#039;s NOT too late for you to write about your wife! I don&#039;t think it&#039;s ever too late. Just felt the need to tell you that.</description>

		<description>I, too, lost my wife to cancer--five years ago. Not a day goes by that I don&#039;t think about her. As painful as it must be to put this down on &quot;paper,&quot; it is a wonderful thing you&#039;re doing. You are giving your kids a memory of Susan that will never fade. You are also creating a living, permanent memorial to her that will serve as an inspiration to thousands of people for years to come.

I wish I&#039;d have done this.

&lt;em&gt;Marty, if you&#039;ll take the time to write, I think you&#039;ll find -- as I am -- that the memories come back pretty vividly. Maybe you should give it a shot. - FC&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll be honest, I don&#039;t know how you manage to write her story. Curious how long it takes to tell some parts.</description>

		<description>I remember that after my chemo sessions for testicular cancer all I could eat were Mars bars. They say that you will loose weight when on Chemo, not me, I managed to put on 15-20kg&#039;s in a 4 month period.

I also remember that certain smells affected me, my sister and mother were using a body wash that every time they came near me, I wanted to throw up. Still to this day which is 20 years later I even have to get get a whiff of a some smells and I get nauseous.

For those readers who have not been affected by cancer, here is an insight that hopefully you will never have to go through. It is one of those diseases that not only impacts the patient but also the those that are emotionally connected.

Fatty, thank you.</description>

		<description>This is a great gift to your kids, brother. Not only do they get to see their mom again for a few moments, they get to see you back then and your fun/funny marriage to her. You two were just so geeky, even in the hardest time. All that Joss Whedon, LOTR, XFiles. 
I think they&#039;ll want to know about that. 

I&#039;m so glad life&#039;s good right now and you have the strength to write this. Lisa deserves credit for some of that. 
Hugs to her.</description>
