I'm pulling for Doug every inch of the way but at the same time I respect his need and right to be left alone. Sometimes all of a person's strength needs to be focused on his issues and anything that takes focus and energy away from that, even phone calls, cards, and flowers, weakens the person in their fight.
Lets all post our best wishes or any messages we care to in this thread. If and when Doug is up to reading them I am sure he will.

Great post, Hu. Sometimes you have to respect a person's wishes, even if it isn't what you would want for yourself. If I were in the same situation, I would want to be left alone, also.
Maybe upon reflection, he will realize exactly how much he has to lose. The human mind is an amazing thing, and often, the will to live will win out over bad health.
Whatever happens, Doug, know that you have touched a lot of lives, and we will always think fondly of you.
If I were a praying man, I would be begging God on your behalf, but I will leave this fight up to you.
You have a hell of a battle in front of you, but it's a battle you can win.....if you want to.
Doug, I truly hope you decide to fight, and I hope you win.
Best Wishes,
Michael
