Check out what Alex is saying now...

Our thoughts and prayer still go out to Alex. He is showing a lot of courage. As a can-survivor myself (and my father dying of pancreatic cancer) I know a little bit about the pain and discomfort that Alex is talking about. You have to fight through the thoughts of giving up... and Alex is doing that splendidly.
