Thanks for the encourageing words. I meet the oncologist today. Waiting to here from son that he is back in the states. That will be a relief to have him her with me also. Had wedding Sat for daughter so happy that she has a very good man in her life. Ed thank you so much for the offer to met Mike but I have no idea how they are getting him home and because of security I won't know till he is in the states as all the rest of his unit and friends are still over there. Makes me fell so much better when I see the posts for down the line. I know it will be a fight but boy am I eating everything I think I want right now while all of it's still good. Diet later right! Yes I will thank my son for his service he is as of Aug. 15 years service and I tell him all the time how proud I am of him and what a brave man he has become and has a WONDERFUL wife and children to support him and I know it is so hard on them to. This was his second tour this time around and was there for the 1st gulf war also. Well vented enough for right now and have to prepare myself to me oncoligist and go to Cancer center.
