Less than twelve hours to go until my surgery. The positive karma and thoughts coming across the emails has been wonderful. Thanks for helping me get thru this. Starting tomorrow, or maybe the next day things will start getting better.

Aunt Connie -- thanks for the poem.

Bruce -- My cancer us being treated at Missouri Baptist.(Known as MoBao to the locals. I am very happy with the professional team. The staff in Registration should be replaced. I had to sit in the waiting room for over an hour this afternoon because no one told the Imaging Department that I had arrived (fifteen minutes early). The Tech called the registration area and was told that I wasn't there.
The tech called the surgeon asking if they knew where I was. The doctor's nurse called my home asking why I had not kept my appointment asking if I wanted to reschedule surgery!

Anal Cancer!?!? Never heard of it. How sh****ty that must have been. I am sure that you had plenty of teasing about it. A couple of years ago one of the local TV stations had a story of a little town just north of here right off the Mississippi River. There was a very high amount of people who contracted appendix cancer!

CURIOUSER AND COURISER!
.

Hope to be able to report back later this week.

Thanks again for all the notes. I treasure them
