Retro Red Diagnosis in

Craig, I just don't know what to say. Others have already said it all. Joyce and I will be saying extra prayers for you this morning at church. As has been mentioned, attitude and stubborness will always improve the results. A good example would be Mom. Earlier this week we went with her for her 6 month visit after the pancreatitus and the Dr told us that she was very suprised to be able to see her. She didn't really expect Mom to survive since she is 84 and the severity of the attack. The only thing that the Dr. thinks got her through is the fact that Mom is VERY stubborn and basically told all the Dr's involved that they were lying. My advise is to be stubborn, take all the treatments suggested, enjoy life, and visit the church of your choice often.

Red,

Words fail me. I can only say what others have already said, especially Jamie. I offer what I have used as New Year's resolution for years because it's kind of hard to break. Take life one day at a time and live each day to its fullest. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Best of luck to you Craig. I'm not a praying man but I'll be saying one for you tonight just in case. My wife and I lost her father to brain cancer last month and we have learned how important family and friends can actually be in times like these. Surround yourself with them and you'll be okay.

Craig,
You are surrounded by love. Your family and relatives, the many people that have met you in your community, and the many of us around the world, that are your clan. Life is a roll of the dice, this one is the snake eyes, the next roll should be your attitude winning over this antagonist, a pair of sixes soon to show when this cancer has been punted to he)). I have not met you in person, but feel a kindred soul from our sharing on this board. Jay and I have you in our thoughts and prayers. I lit a candle of concern for you my friend this morning in church, and our whole congregation is rooting for your victory.
I hope that my prayers will help, but if there is any other way that I can help you, please let me know. I will be there.

Be well, get well, drink from the well.
Steve

Craig, I am stunned by your news. We have never met but I feel I know you well and consider you a friend. I am actually lost for words and so will shout a loud "Hear, hear!" to the heartfelt expressions made by others here.

The best possible vibes I am able to muster are winging their way to you right now.

Ham.
