    Well, I made it! Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support! It really helped. I actually got out of the hospital 2 days early. The tumor turned out to be a little smaller than a football. Some of you were unlucky enough to see the picture my wife has been showing around of the nasty critter. I have a new battle scar going from my sternum to the tip of my right pelvis. Lots of staples. Surgery was touch and go from what I was told. It took 5.5 hours as opposed to the 3 they were planning. They had to call a second surgeon in, basically shutting down the surgery center for the day. But it all worked out. We are just awaiting the pathology report. We hope it shows nothing spread. Again, my family and I would like to thank all of you! Without all the support, this would be a much harder thing to endure!

    Chris, I am happy for your report. You would not remember me as we only met once after you gave a seminar at the Elks Club in Rochester. Anyway, just to let you know because of this site I said a prayer or two for you and I am happy that you will be around to share some more of your info! God Bless you and good luck! JJ

    Well, I guess that’s one way to go on a diet.

    Here’s to a quick recovery.
