Happy Independence Day to Everyone

I have talked here several times about my heroes--many of them cancer survivors. But I also have another group of heroes--those men who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence 236 years ago. They not only sparked the creation of our country, they also put their lives on the line. Each one of them knew there was a very good chance the British would hunt them down and execute them and probably their families, too.

Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin put in the words and John Hancock made sure his name stood out for easy recognition. Doing the right thing isn't always easy whether you're a Founding Father, cancer survivor, parent, partner, or citizen. Celebrate the good things in your life this 4th of July week.

Next week I'll get back to prostate cancer, the Affordable Care Act, politics, cartoons, and what's new in cancer treatment.
