Update on an old friend....

I’ve seen Jim a few times this week and the change in him physically is frightening to me. He’s had 4 chemo treatments so far. He looks haggard. The sight of his hair loss was somewhat of a wakeup call for me. It saddens me to see him deteriorate so fast. After watching Lance Armstrong the past 3 weeks triumph at the Tour and knowing his past triumphs over cancer lead me to this conclusion. The courtrooms of this country aren’t the only place the rich win out. The hospitals and drug companies are in their corner too. Jim isn’t destitute by any stretch but he certainly doesn’t have the resources of a Lance Armstrong. Will Jim be here celebrating in 10 years? My prayers say I hope so.
