Brian,
As you and everyone knows I always jump in with both feet to the point that many think that I am over eager. I do not view my enthusiasm in the same way. I will however, watch and view from the sidelines as you get this project going in the U.S. and try and learn as much as I can.
I guess this site, your efforts and all of the wonderful people on this site inspire me. Basically, I feel I can help.
I agree with the, "look before you leap.", and only want you to know that when the time is right I'll help.
Rome wasn't built in a day but, I was cursed/blessed with a mind that never stops.
Cheers Brian,
Mike

Brian,
I will try to check back later today and will be off until late Mon or early tue and then off Fri PM 25th - late Sun 27 or early Mon 28th.
I have been "privileged" to be hit with a 3rd form of cancer and will have a lumpectomy Wed 30th. There will be follow up radiation TBA. I am still committed to this project and am assuming that all will work out well. I am just very aggravated over this latest episode.
BTW, I orderd the new bag yesterday and forgot to order more of the patient information booklets. If you can, please add to the same order before it ships out.
Praying for good weather and great results for the NY event.

Malka,

I had breast cancer and oral cancer treated back to back (actually partly simultaneously) and I can promise you that if you survived oral cancer radiation and chemo (although looking at your signature line, maybe you didn't), the breast cancer lumpectomy/sentinal node removal and radiation (assuming that is what they have lined up for you since you mentioned a lumpectomy?) will seem like a piece of cake. And there is way more support avialable if you have breast cancer than for those of us with oral cancer.

Still, I don't mean to downplay your aggravation. I can understand it all too well! You'll be in my thoughts.

Brian and Sharlee, Sometime in the hopefully near future I would definitely be willing to share the work for the New York OCF branch. However, I am still facing a lot of challenges in terms of surgery for structures and possibly a more serious surgery for my trismus in the near future and between that and a lot of work commitments right now, I don't want to commit to something I then have to back out of because of other obligations. I feel like right now I barely have adequate time to hold together work, medical treatments, and the various mouth care and swallowing-issue things I need to do each day to make sure nothing gets worse.

But please keep me in mind if somehting comes up several months from now--maybe things will have gotten better.
