So sorry, Bill. Thanks for letting us know.

We'll be saying prayers and sending loads of pixie dust to you. Enough of
it to be sprinkled on you every single day until you're through your
treatment and healing.

Keep thinking about that trip to the World. Please keep us posted - good
times or otherwise.

Bill,
I'm sorry to hear that news. I'm sure things have been difficult for
you but it looks like you've turned that into a positive approach and
I think that's great. Get through the treatments, heal, feel better
and keep your eye on the prize in February. All the best to you...

Steve

Lots of pixie dust coming your way, Bill! Think positively, and when you're
getting treatments, "watch" Wishes fireworks in your head!
Ellen :)

Keep your positiviity up!
Pixie dust and best wishes to you. These days cancer is more often a
chronic disease that has to be managed over a number of years instead
of an immediate deadline <grin>.
Eat healthy. Smile a lot. Know that you have friends here. AND, you'll
be back in the Happiest Place on Earth before you know it.

Ditto from me, Bill! Sorry about this very rude interruption in your
life, but hopefully cancer will be part of your PAST - not your
present. I'm a 6-year survivor now, and don't even think about cancer
any more.

Best of luck with your treatment, and a trip to WDW is the perfect way
to celebrate the end of that stage of your life.

Hi Bill! Sorry to hear your news but you must be a fighter or you
wouldn't have lasted with RADP as long as you have! Without knowing
all your specifics I can tell you that C isn't the big bad wolf it
used to be. Treatments and technology have come so far that you CAN
easily become a survivor! Beat that sucker, Bill! You have too many
Disney trips left to take!!!! Here's a dose of pixie dust to be added
to your next treatment!

A positive attitude makes all the difference! Keep Disney thoughts in your
head and look for loads of pixie dust coming your way!!

Michelle

I'm sorry to hear you're having to face cancer, Bill. Loads of pixie dust
to you and I'll keep the dust coming so you can make that February trip.
All the best to you.

Bill,

You'll get over this I just know it. I'll send you all the pixie dust I can
from MK !! There's a big box of it out behind City Hall.
And get yourself down here NOW mister. Come dance with me along the parade
route !!

-- The 'other' Sonya

Bill, I am also sorry that you have to go thru this but planning a trip
to the Mouse
can help to chase the blues (and greys and blacks) away. Lisa
