I want you guys to know that I'm still here, tho I've posted very little since last Oct. I retired at the end of Oct., almost immediately got real sick, and finally had a physical and a colonoscopy in early Feb. The colonoscopy showed a large rectal cancer tumor. To make a long story short, since then its been a continuing nightmare of an operation, CAT scan, PET scan, biopsy of a small spot on my lower right lung (which might also be cancer), and now, chemo therapy. Radiation will follow, and a possible operation on the lung. This is not my idea of what I wanted to do after retiring. I'm trying to do my best to keep a positive attitude, but many things have fallen by the wayside, including posting on this site. I miss you guys and reading this site and posting on it. You all take care.

Go back to work!
Seriously though, it's good to see you back. Please stay with us. We lost Tony a few months back (see pinned thread), and the board hasn't been quite the same since. You've been a good and valued contributor. Keep coming by, you add value here, and perhaps we can give you some encouragement, as well as something to do, during those long hours of being laid up.
Hang in there, and don't be a stranger. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry to hear that.
jmacmaster,
Sorry to hear of your ordeal with Cancer. I have my ongoing fight with it and other health battles too.
BITOG and a few other forums, keep my spirits up and have a laugh or two. I even learn something occaisionally. It helps me from feeling too sorry for myself and meet some fine people, like on here.
Fight! Keep up the fight and struggle. Never, never, never, give up. We never know what tomorrow brings. There are many that will never see it, we will. Paul.

Godspeed back to good health!
Hang in there. We are all as close as your computer.
Wow - I was wondering where your handle went. Man get better real quick. Some tough battles but you'll whip it!
The jury is still out on this... you may still get your acquittal.
You are in my prayers !! ... (can I say that ??)

All my best wishes. I sincerely hope that you make it through this.
You should just check in for the thoughts and prayers. Sharing can be a cathartic experience.
I agree.....keep checking in.
my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Just when you pause to take a rest
Tough break. You'll be part of my daily meditations. You've got some challenges to face and endure that I cannot pretend to identify with..but I hope that your recovery is swift and complete.
Stay in touch.
