i feel overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and understanding i am experiencing here on you tube and on my face book page. it proves what i have always thought and said and that is that 95% of all the people in the world are kind, caring, loving and peaceful; regardless of race or country of origin. we all want the same things: a better life for our children, good health, good relationships, a roof over our heads and love both given and recieved. thank all of you who have posted here. ron

Dear Ron...I don't know you, I received this link from a friend. Ron, my husband Jere was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer the 13th of December.I find your video to be an mirror of what my husband and I have been going through in the last 18 days. The parallels are mind numbing! When you said it's "surreal"...you hit the nail on the head! I believe it's fate I was given this link...but I will be here to hear your story! God bless you Ron & Rhonda.You will be in my prayers...;-)

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about your cancer, Ron... I'll be tuning in to see how your story unfolds. Hope you DO have the best of the best scenarios - even if it's tough. I want to say "hang in there, man," but that sounds so cavalier. I'll be thinking of you.

One more thing to entertain you with :) Tim Leary set it up to film his death but at the last hour/s, the camera guy shut it off. So he said. Don't be affraid cause you'll just torture yourself. Pretend you are going on a long, beautiful cruise ship trip, that you are looking forward to because you may as well! Right? Ok buddy. Nice to meet to you. See you on the other side. Don't be late. ooo! I believe that I will go and be with all the pet's I ever had What'dya think of that?

Someone introduced me to Bill Hicks only last year but it looks like I'm right at home here. Act as if you have a long time. That's the best way to go. Don't be afraid of dying cause it's really a cool transition as you go through it (i heard) it's psychedelic! Then I guess it;s like when you go under anesthesiology but you know, you don't wake up :/. We all gotta do it. It's very unfair. But blame it on the Aliens!

How brave! That sucks beyond belief. I never even heard of you but am a fan now. I came over because Dan Hogle posted on Geno's Michellini's fb wall.

Greetings from one of your fans from the old Workshop in Houston, then the Laff Stop. Wishing you all the best luck; Anderson is good and you will get in, I'm certain.

You've made me (and millions) laugh for many years and I'm really sorry to hear about this. As the great story teller you are, I salute your courage to tell (chronicle) this one and bare your soul. I hope this isn't "Tuesday's with Morie - from Morie's perspective". But I can tell you this: If you happen to wake up and see a 900 foot Jesus floating there in the room with ya asking for $37.50, please let us know.

I'm in.

Urethral Cancer, wow it sucks that something that horrible exists. But looking for a bright side, if dick cancer has to happen to anyone, it really should be to a comedian. There's got to be great comedy in there somewhere and I pray to hear the full story one day in a packed club with a happy ending. Namaste.

i hope you get better

I remember telling my mom a joke I saw you performing on youtube about a month ago, she laughed hard and smiles was shared. I had to translate it to Norwegian for her since she does not speak English, but comedy is a universal language. Point is, even when you were getting your cancer diagnose, your positive energy and comedy is making people laugh around the world, even in people and places where they do not speak the language. You have a gift sir, and I am honored to be a part of this journey.

Ron, sending you as much positive healing energy as I can. Be strong!
