Hi Friends. Just a quick message - I'll answer PTs and Emails the next few days.

I had the op three days ago. The pathology results received today showed it was a malignant tumor, but a "superficial" one on the wall of my bladder, and the excellent Doctor I have was able to remove it all. I'll have to go for regular checkups but things are looking good at the moment.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND GOOD WISHES. GOD LISTENED AND GRANTED THEM ! Darryl

I just got back from several days out of town. I had some quite good professional news awaiting me; also upon returning to civilization some emails that were extremely positive. But nothing I read or learned this morning caused as significant a reaction as the one quoted above.

So glad for you, Brother.

Okay, Laurie has been around in the last few days, but hasn't voted. I think I'll have to close this. I'll probably start the next round on Friday.
