Hi Neversmoke. This is my first post after surgery on Dec. 31, 2013. I was on the 12th floor of Vancouver General looking north over Granville Island, downtown, and the North Shore Mountains. Interesting fireworks from 10:00PM through to 5:00AM!

I had two biopsies, six months apart, before the second was confirmed as cancer. S#!t happens. Anyway welcome to the forum, sorry you are here, but if you have time, read everything in every post and the replies. The wisdom on here is encyclopedic.
