Appendix Act IV—A Presidential Decision

To my parents, the late Ada and Walter Hailey.

I did not question your God-given right: choice. But I wish you had chosen differently. Living with health challenges is an inevitable human reality—a reality that I pray we embrace in consideration of the people we love and that love us.

AWARENESS.

DECISION.

COMMITMENT.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

T HERE IS A God. My awareness of the plight of man holds me as a willing captive to a duty of service.

There is a person. My wife, whose essence humbles and then motivates me daily, gives me the strength and courage to decide.

There is a family—biological and tribal—that is rich in diversity, character, and variance; and it protects me.

And there is a multitude. The friends and supporters of both types—genuine and fake—that challenge my commitments and remind me that there is a God, without whom, there is no me or us.

According to The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data, the number of new cases per 100,000 people (all races, males and females), age-adjusted was 462 in 2010, down from 511 in 1992. At the same time, the number of deaths in the United States was 172 in 2010 down from 214 in 1992 (National Cancer Institute—Trends in Rates—http://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/all.html).

NCI explains,

Keeping track of the number of new cases, deaths, and survival over time (trends) can help scientists understand whether progress is being made and where additional research is needed to address challenges, such as improving screening or finding better treatments.

Using statistical models for analysis, rates
