Joshua, you are such a fine writer. There's a career path for you if you should want to go there. Nothing more to say except that I got so involved in your writing, the honesty you have and the way that I am so pulled into the feelings as well. Thanks, anyone who reads this will be heartfelt in their best wishes for you in what's to come.


57 year old male friend had salivary gland removed with a 5cm tumor on June 7, 2013. A smoker. Pathology states "consistent with a metastatic small cell or neuroendocrine carcinoma of unknown primary." Margins appear clear. I'm trying to help get him into proper and prompt treatment.
