Goddammit, I hate cancer so much.

People like John are the reason I've managed to fight, and win, a couple bouts with cancer, and I'm sure I'll have another go round with it eventually, and I'll strive to maintain the courage and dedication that John seemed to throughout his fight. I didn't know him, other than from his thoughtful and informative posts, but people like him are rare gems, and losing a person of his caliber is a loss to the world. Rest in peace, sir.
