Guys,
I just wanted to let you know that my first test (an important one) after the operation has come back good. I will have to be retested every 3 months for awhile and then every so often for some years. At least it is a good start. I am feeling pretty darn good now.

I want to deeply thank everyone for the concern, helpful thoughts and prayers.

Carl,

I just want to say thanks so much for sharing this story of your cancer and now hopeful recovery. This has especially touched me since I nearly died 9 months ago of a massive heart attack. The whole volumes of "second chances" and "extra innings" , etc., etc. are speaking loudly in my being as I'm sure they are in yours. What a wonderful gift we have in being able to share a little while longer....is it not?

Continued Prayers and Blessings,
Geary

Hi Carl,
What a suprise to see your post. Just the other day, maybe Monday, you came into my thoughts. I offered up prayers for you then. And today, here you are. Guess the prayers today will be of thanksgiving. Very good news. Glad you are feeling good, too!!!!! Have you had the energy or time yet to get back to painting?? Hope so...

Great news Carl. I'm so happy to hear you're feeling stronger as well as having received a good medical report. Sick or well we all need to be grateful for each day. I look forward to seeing some paintings now. Take care.
