The doctor Can�t say,
More tests a month away

Than it's a little premature,
To be throwin in the towel, today.

Besides, many people have been cured of cancer. Start digging up some big fat nightcrawlers; I'm definitely sending Mr. Mole out there to cheer you up.

Hey Ed. We'll all be right here pulling for you, big guy. Hang tough and hope for the best....

and �live every day like it were your last.� I don't recall who first said that, but I live by it these days.

Good Luck, Dick

PS: Though it was hard to read, because of the message it contained, I think this is among the best you've written recently.

I do hope all will be well, Ed. Myself, I am going back in six months for more blood tests to see if I need to go for another biopsy so I can relate. You are right about riding the bike. It is great physical and mental therapy. Love and best wishes to you, friend,
