Thanks everybody!

Gary, just so you know, I went the Hep C route before the cancer. I finished the Interferon/Rebitrol therapy November 2002 and my gland started swelling December. One doctor suspected the treatment compromised my immune system and contributed to the cancer.

I thought I was aging well until the past couple of years and it all caught up quickly.

I saw a sign in my doctor's office years ago that said "Getting Old is not for Sissies". I understand better today then back then.
