Kendall,

It must be difficult to be hit in the face with such serious news. From what I've read above, there is every reason to believe you can lick this cancer. If Baltimore becomes your destination, let me know. Marge isn't available to ask, but I am sure we can put you up so you won't have to hotel it. We might even cook somethin'.

Laughter is good medicine. And a shot or two of whiskey daily sounds good. You need to treat yourself well. I have a friend who is a recovering alcoholic and he has a long list of "Ways to tell your an alcoholic". I remember two of them: 'If you get run over by your own car' and 'If you go to the beach and the back of your throat gets sunburned'. Amos said exposure to sunlight is one of the causes. Perhaps this is an explanation.

My hope is that we on the Mudcat can keep you laughing and thinking positively about this thing. You are in my thougts and my prayers.

Roger in Baltimore
