Walt - Glad to hear you are feeling a little better. The "likely's" and the unknowns that you mention can be unnerving. Try not to give them too much time, maybe set a time limit of a few seconds and then think more about all the positives like your "loudly modified RX-7 convertible" and that your two sons and daughter will be with you soon! Re waiting to hear back from the Brachytherapy Doctor - of course the Waiting is the Worst!! Maybe you could call and if you are really sweet with the person answering the phone, they might be able to tell you something re how long you need to wait. Or you could send them a FAX with how anxious it is making you to have to wait? Do you have a wife or Significant Other that could call and cry a little on the phone so that they hurry up with the results? Let us know what happens and best wishes for some good news coming soon!
