Ok Glenn, in the best interest of the board, I agree with you. Your posts are important here and I understand you better after your last post.
As far as me "getting personal" by asking others not to defend you, it wasn't personal, it was just being honest. I have no intention of ignoring your posts, in fact, I have a question for you. Why didn't you have chemo with your radiation? I've wondered many times why my doctors didn't go this route with me.
