Kendall goes into hospital in Boston on Tuesday morning for the laser operation to remove the cancer from his vocal chord. If all goes well it will be an overnight stay and we'll be back home on Wednesday. If they can't access the area by going down his throat it will mean a temporary tracheotomy and four to five day stay in hospital.

We would appreciate good thoughts from our friends on the Mudcat that this finally does the job and maybe gives him back a singing voice.

We'll keep you posted on progress.
