That is great Joe! Can't wait to hear the details.

The old feelings are never far from the surface. My brother in law has stage 4 lung cancer and I was speaking to my sister today about being ready for when he finishes treatment because it's going to be hard. Then later this morning I found out my ps's wife was just diagnosed with cervical cancer and they are reeling as she had no idea she had a tumor. So as more and more people are diagnosed with cancer there are going to be more people that will need help assimilating back to their old but forever changed life.

Never say die as Arlen Spector writes. I'll be sure to get this book!
