Good morning Gilb. I'm new to the forum myself, about 2 weeks behind you it appears. But I read your thread and it appears you have a real friend in CherylD. I learned a lot by reading your thread.

From your posts it appears you are staying positive about all this.

Keep on fighting, I'll be checking on you to see how the scans go.

take care.
