Adding my voice to the chorus... wishing you the best outcome. I'm sure it's very scary- not only on a personal level but especially to someone who has made his living with his voice for so long- but you've got a lot of love and support here and as others have said, let yourself feel it and it will warm you through and through.

I remember one time when I literally saw a golden sparkly tent-like drape over me when people were 'holding me in the light'. It's hard to be depressed when you know that is there.

Be well.
