Thats excellent news!!!! So happy that you posted an update smile You must be so releived that your father is doing so much better.

As far as being shy....DONT!!! You are not new anymore, you have been around since July and have at this current count made 13 posts already. We are all one big family here and would welcome your comments. Ive made many friends here and have met several in person. Being in Jersey, you may even want to join in on Susan Lauria's oral cancer walk coming up on Sept 25th in Andover. Its in honor of her brother David who was lost to this awful disease. I will be there, so will several other OCF members. If you can go, please send Susan Lauria or me a PM so we can be sure to meet smile
