Re: [Team Discovery New Members Only] Introductions

Hi, I just joined. My name is Chris, I'm currently 27, and work as a software engineer for the federal government in the DC area. My father is 57 and has colon cancer (currently in his liver). He will be on chemo for the rest of his life (he's endured a year of it so far - every two weeks). His oncologist told him a few weeks ago that he is the longest living patient he's ever had. My father's father had colon cancer, and the doctors have said that my sister and I have a 50/50 chance of carrying a genetic trait that will guarantee cancer in our futures as well. It is a nasty disease.

My name is Réjean (Rej) from Québec.

I am new on this team but have been crunching since 2004. I retired 5 years ago. Now I have lots of time to give my wife, my children, my grand children, the house and my dogs, in that order. I stop crunching for 4 years since I was not sure it was used for what it is clamed to do. I am still not sure.

I have the greatest distrust in governments, and parallel institutions. On the other hand, I have hope for humanity. But we will have to be very lucky if we want to make it to a class 1 civilisation.

Regards, Rej

My name is Mark from Pittsburgh, currently living in New Cumberland, WV.

I am new to this team but have been crunching since 2006 for the project with Stanford (folding@home).

My grandmother died from breast cancer before I was born, I would have liked to have met her.

My mother-in-law is a 15 year skin cancer survivor, I would like for her to see my children grow up.

My uncle is a 10 year prostate cancer survivor, I would like for him to see his grandchildren grow older.

My wife was incorrectly diagnosed with Uterine cancer in 2005 (the tumor has not tested positive for cancer since 2007). We spent a lot of money on treatments, which I do not regret, but would have much rather spent the time between 2005 and 2007 without the pure fright and hell that we went through thinking that she would not be around much longer.

My name is Jason. I am a Children's Pastor and IT Specialist.

Kids are awesome and so full of life. I know many kids that face those things that we all dread and do so early in life... all while keeping a smile on their face.

I also have a grandmother that is facing breast cancer at age 78. She has that same love of life like a child and even though she is facing a tough disease she is still... smiling.

I want to honor that love of life and do whatever I can to help them...
