MacD37, WELL I DIDN'T dodge the bullet, folks
Earlier today I went through throat surgery, to remove a growth on my vocal chords. It was almost all excized, and will be left that way, pending the Pathology report. It seems to remove it all would be very detramental to my ability to speak. If it turns out the pathology results, and not good, then the Vocal chords may have to be removed, and chemotherapy, may be indicated.
The good news is the surgeon says he doesn't think it is malignant. WELLLLLLLLllllllllllll, I certainly hope so!

MacD37 Thanks for all the kind, reassuring words! My doctor says he thinks I'm in the clear, but must wait for the lab test to be sure! Man! I hope he's right, cause I got some more Buffalo hunting I want to do.

bwanamrmMy prayers are with you, Mac!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

MacD37Well folks I got the news today, and it ain't good!
It seems the growth is Cancer! I have to have a PAT-scan and start six weeks of daily rediation theropy, then another scan. to decide what else is needed. The doc says the rediation my do the trick, if not then further surgery is indicated!
Guess I'll put off some of the hunting for while! I appreciate the kind words, and prayers, now let's just let this thread die!
Thanks again folks!
