Bob so sorry to hear what has happened but this is what is scaring me
to death with my cancer it comming back. I hope that some how the
condition will reverse for you and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
But if it should take it may you go peacefully is all that I ask I
know the pain i endured prior to and after my 15 hour operation and
hope you will not have to go thru it.
