Guys,

Thanks for your concern. Much appreciated. But, in all honesty, me and mine are doing OK. Could things be better? In some ways, yes they could. In other ways, not at all. Living with cancer, and life itself, is a challenging path to walk. But, each step is one that I'll gladly take-- rocks, pitfalls and all. My lot in life has been chosen for me, but I've never really taken on this trek alone while moving down its twisting path.

You see, it's because of my family, my friends and the Man Upstairs that I can look you in the eye and say that I'm doing OK. Where some may have stumbled, the trio cited above have held me up, extended me a hand, or just steadied my gait. And, for that, my gratitude forever will be eternal...
