"Hats off to cancer patient, Andres Peña, age 18"

Andres has two aunts, his Aunt Martha and his Aunt Rebecca, plus his grandmother "Mena" Peña, all right here in Brackettville, although he's from the Houston area and was attending university studies in Alabama when diagnosed with cancer early in the Fall 2007 semester.

During this painful and surely terribly frightening episode in his young life, Andres kept a blog of what he had to deal with on a day to day basis.

Anyone wanting to know what a tale of raw courage is all about has only to click on his blog:
