Dick,

I certainly wish there was more that I could do other than wish you the best of luck. If there is, don't hesitate to let me know.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Dick,

I'm sorry to hear the news and pray for a speedy recovery. If you have any other questions or concerns, Andrea has been an oncology nurse for 20 years. She would certainly help in any way if you have questions.

Thanks again for your prayers and well wishes.

Jeff, send me a tel. no. where I might reach Andrea, and what would be a good time to reach her, as I do have a lot of questions. Seems like conditions change from day to day.

I had the Whipple operation and I'm sure Andrea knows what it is. It's an 8 hour operation.

Dick I'm sorry to hear about your latest diagnosis, and hope that you adjust well to the chemo tratments and will have the energy to be able to enjoy your garden. It is very tough to face cancer, and you have a lot of friends wishing you positive thoughts. Your incredible garden has certainly been an inspiration to all who have visited you...

Best of luck big time. I'm sure you have a good advocate to fight for you dealing with the system, that makes such a big difference.

You have a lot of positive thoughts coming your way.
