Her parents' research online on her rare form of cancer is what brought them to MD Anderson. A year of disruption to their lives was worth it to them.

I'm so happy for her and thank God they found what she needed, but big difference between 20 years ago and today. Most cancer patients of today wouldn't have made it 20 years ago. And we'll be saving even more in 2,3,4 years. Treatments just keep getting better and better. I plan to be around long enough to see it. Also, just as an example, tomorrow I have another radiation appointment BUT...right now, I am going across the street to play poker with my fun neighbor girls and laugh and forget about it for a while. Can't beat that!
