Thanks Graham,

Anything wrong you said or did I forgive.  Likewise, I apologize for being
rude and cruel to you.  It all does seem pretty insignificant at this point.
Thanks for the good thoughts, Graham.

As to my absence these past few days, yes, I was in the hospital.  They did
something called pleurodesis which helps me breath better.  They can't remove
the tumors and it doesn't cure.  There are lots of tumors in the chest wall --
inoperable.  Radiation doesn't do anything.  Chemo slows them down a bit.
Tarceva, a new, experimental drug can be combined with chemo to give me about
3-4 months.  That's all.

God, however, isn't finished and we're praying for a miracle.  My brother,
Michael, had stage IV lung cancer nearly 11 years ago.  The doctors told him
to get his affairs in order as he had only a few months to live -- same as me.
Mike visited me in the hospital yesterday.  He's been cancer free for nearly
10 years now.
