David - Give Linda my best and let her know she will be in my thoughts and prayers. This cancer thing just sucks!!!! Still dealing with dh's radiation damage, my best friend from high school just finished with breast cancer treatments and now my sis in law was diagnosed last week with colon rectal cancer. You, my friend, will be an excellent caregiver because you know what it's like to go thru this stuff. Charm is right....there oughta be a universal law against this...or a universal law against cancer would suit me just fine Hang in there.
