I am donating to CaringBridge because I know how much it meant to our family when Ross was going through his battle with colon cancer, and again when my husband Aart was battling bladder cancer. No matter what battle someone has, CaringBridge helps!

Dr. Ross, how wonderful to read this news. I thought of you on Christmas Day. Praise God in His goodness! I’m your dads first cousin, so you’re my first cousin once removed. My mom, Virginia Garde, and your Grandpa Bob were brother and sister.

Great message of hope and assurance from a good man of faith

We are thinking of you and no the surgery will be successful. Best wishes to you and your family during the HolidaySeason. Our prayers will be with you on the 26th.

We wish you a quick recovery and back to good health. Merry Christmas and many blessings! Silvia and Gabe

You are in our prayers. This challenge will be defeated! Enjoy Disneyland and Merry Christmas. Enjoy your broth nog. Enjoy the leftovers on the 27th!

Ross, You inspire us all because of your unwavering faith. Know that you are in our family's prayers. Emmanuel (God with us) is surely with you at all times.

Well, dammit! Not liking this news at all Ross. Best wishes for a great outcome!
