John Cromwell was my husband and best friend. After his diagnosis in 2007 we had to radically change our dreams of the future. He used the GRACE site to research his disease, and became his own best advocate. We were blessed with wonderful doctors, nurses, and a network of friends and family who helped us cope. John had several good years of stable disease, but in December of 2010 he succumbed. His courage and devotion to our family during those last weeks continues to inspire us and give us comfort.
