Many seem to tire of this story but honestly I never do. The man fought for his life and beat a disease that kills so many people every year. Something to celebrate for sure.
As an oncology nurse, I will never tire of honoring survivors. Glad Edzo is one of them.
Glad to see he is able to this enjoy this honor, with a positive result associated with it.
The guy convinced me to get a colonoscopy! Thanks EDZO!!
Glad to see this. Fitting that Eddie-O gets the One More Shift Treatment anyway, and fitting that it is on the night chosen. Salute!
Fitting and classy.
I can’t begin to tell you what an inspiration Eddie has been to me
