mstarling, WELL I DIDN'T dodge the bullet, folks
Ah SHIT Mac! So sorry to hear that things are not good.
Time to go at it with as strong an attitude as you can manage. Our prayers are with you and yours!
(My step-dad made it 11 years on a 6 month prognosis. He died of a heart attack rather than cancer. There is always hope!)

308SakoMac, Cancer is something that you live with. It is a part of all our lives, (1 in 4 of us!) though some closer than others. When all is said and done you will be pleasantly surprised with what can be done for this. Be positive and win.

DigitalDanBad news, sorry for your detour. Best of luck to you, and skill to your doctor(s). Pay very close attention to what they prescribe, ask a lot of questions(there are no dumb ones save those not asked)....and you will be amazed at what you can find on this in cyberspace. A lot of knowledge is a good thing on this subject. Keep your chin up!

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

MacD37Well folks I'm going to hear my sentence today at 2:00PM! It seems all the lab work, and CAT-scan, and PET-scan's results are in, and the visit to hear the verdict, it will be read today!
Sort of like going into the long grass with a wounded lion!
I'll let you know if I stop the charge, or get bit!

Well, folks, I got a suspended sentence! It seems the CAT-scan, and PET-scan didn't light up anything, so all that is left is the six weeks of radiation therapy (yuk)to make sure the surgery got it all. The doc said there may be very small particles left that will not show up, but the radiation should take care of that.
Maybe, I stopped the charge!
Thanks to all for you kind words, and prayers. Thank God we can now set this asside!

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!
