It is at the outset that these things are the most frightening, and they generally work themselves out well. Though we often think of loss, we must also think of how more often than not, the odds are in our favor. I had a freind, an Irish American, who went through the worst case synario, testicular cancer, and God willing, that is not what is happening here, however, for that fellow, it has been over a decade, and every time I see him, I think of how we all counted him as in his last fight so long ago. He is leading a strong and productive life and that fight is well in his past. We are living in hopeful days. My wife and I send our prayers and best hopes and wishes. Larry and Genie Otway
