ncsib: Was sorry to hear the news about Eric. It sounds as if the surgery turned out OK, though, so that is good and if it removed cancer from him that the Drs. didn't know about, that is very good. Please tell him that I just had my neck dissection 4 weeks ago and the recovery is not that bad. It's a lot easier than radiation, thats for sure. God bless you, Eric and his wife. You know that all of the folks on this site are praying for all of you.
