THank you so much everybody. As a grown man, I have to buck up and accept the fact that I have a serious medical condition that I might not make it through. From what the doctor said, it sounds like we may have caught it before it spread, so treatment may be easy. If it has spread to my lymph nodes... well, I don't really want to think about that... I'll cross that bridge if I get there. If it has spread to any of my vital organs, then someone might as well call dibs on my steel. The latter is most unlikely and I will have a much better idea of that tomorrow.

Thanks again. I have yet to speak with,, or meet a DOG who wouldn't give you the shirt off their back if you needed it.
