Thanks Levi for getting back to me that meant alot and glad you had a great thanksgiving I as well, had much to be thankful for sounds great having doughnuts with your dogs or was it dog either way i’m happy to know your doing as well as can be expected.I’m advocating as much as I can and definitely speaking of anal cancer it was too painful not to talk about may be in a commercial took pictures still waiting to hear back but definitely will be in a cancer magazine in dec so excited did’nt know having this cancer would bring so many opportunities but I’m grateful for the chance to draw awareness to anal cancer,Much Love My friend.

Just wanted you to know I’m thinking of you and hope your doing as well as can be expected.

Hello Levi, And thanks for adding me as a friend I just recently joined this site and have felt so much love and i feel I can share anything I was diagnosed in july 27 2009 not far after Farrah Fawcett’s death when her and Micheal Died the same day I thought I would lose it never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get anal cancer now I realize it can happen to anyone your story is amazing and i’m sending positive thoughts your way I did’nt experience half you went through but what I did i would’nt wish on anyone very grateful to be cancer-free today and i vow to advocate as much as I’m able just walk the 5k in D.C saturday and believe I did it for all of us. I also want to say I was devastated when I heard thru your page about Eddie Dwyer I was following him on facebook was very sad to hear he passed my heart is very heavy now he seemed to be such a wonderful guy just wish I could have met him and I also want to share I too am hiv+ have been since 1988 and I’m learning more about anal cancer and hiv it was hard enough sharing I had cancer but to say I’m hiv but this cancer has truly made me stronger and a little more wiser I’m just so glad I found this blog and thanks again for adding me as a friend look forward to many more chats.
