Craig,
I'm sure in this hard battle you'll defeat the "enemy".
I pray for you.
Best wishes,
Francesco

A brief update: I have had my final procedures for the moment and was released from hospital today (for the time being) to recuperate from the surgery. I have an appointment with the surgeon for early next year to plan when the chemotherapy and radiation therapy will begin. Until then I should be around most of the time. This place gives me such a lift it is therapy on it's own. I really appreciate everyone's kind words and prayers, you find out who your buddies are when the chips are down. I can't thank you all enough! :)

I am sorry to hear you got cancer, atleast it sounds like the doctors have a plan and you are allowed to leave the hospital so thats a good sign. I am sure it will work out well for you and I wish you luck.

It's great to see you back, Craig! I'm sorry it took so long for me to notice. I'm one of those last minute Christmas shoppers, so I haven't been on that much.

You're a top notch contributor and a top-notch guy. Everything you write about peoples' work is positive; and if it's constructive criticism, you give it in a gentle, encouraging way. I'm certainly excited whenever I get an Outrider response.

I'm in the States but even so, as Urban Saboteur said, if I can do anything for you from here, let me know. I wouldn't even mind keeping an eye out for some ARAH stuff for ya' ;)

You guys take care of yourselves, and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Most of you don't know this but my mom passed away because of cancer about 3 months ago.
I've lived through what you are going through.
If you ever need to talk or anything you know where to find me.
Crossing everything I got that things works out for you.

Great to see you outta the hosp Craig. Kepp ur head held high. Cancer does not always mean the worst. With aggressive treatment you can kick it ass!! Sounds like you and your oncologist have already got a head start on the situation. We are all pulling for you here.

Keep up the good fight Craig. It is great to see you back, and I look forward to seeing more of your fantastic pics for a long long time yet!

Great to have you back Craig,and once you & your Doctor get's the Battle Plan finalized you can go to War on your illness!And I know your going to come out on Top,your the Outrider!!

Glad to see you back and hear you have a plan for fighting this, Craig. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and wish for the best.
