The people on here talked me into a 2nd opinion and I heard way better news at The Ohio State James Comprehensive Cancer Center than I did at the 1st place I went. I was just going to let it run it's course and whatever happen would happen. These nice supporative people talked me into the 2nd opinion and I'm alive and kickin.. LOL but not kickin too high yet. I go Mon the 26th for another check up. I know you will beat this thing and just listen to the people on here.. They are great. Jim
