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!
