<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Good evening,
to all you dear friends -<BR><BR>I arrived home safely today from San Fransisco,
even surviving the<BR>first 5-hour flight with a man who weighed about 400
pounds in the<BR>middle seat! Man, what a trip...<BR><BR>Carol and Shannon are
nearly home from a long trip today to Duke<BR>University medical Center, where
they met with Carol's surgeon, Dr.<BR>George Leight. While there, they also took
a chest X-Ray and did<BR>blood work. <BR><BR>Next Friday, October 22nd, Carol
and I will return to Duke for her<BR>big pre-op workup. She'll have an MRI, CT
Scan, etc. Her surgery<BR>has been scheduled for two weeks from today - Friday,
October 29th.<BR><BR>Now, there's one development that might delay that...Dr.
Leight feels<BR>that the lesion is larger than the Radiologist, Dr. Rosen
thinks.<BR>Frankly,<BR>I think we should more trust the Radiologist, who's
trained to read those<BR>things! The MRI next Friday will reveal who's right;
but, if the surgeon<BR>is, he might decide on a course of chemotherapy to shrink
it before he<BR>operates. We will surely keep you informed on this. Honestly,
we'd<BR>rest easier just knowing that the malignancy has been removed, so
we<BR>hope the Radiologist is correct.<BR><BR>All of our family joins to thank
you for your prayers during this trial.<BR>I've received literally hundreds of
e-mails, from around the world,<BR>and we gain strength from each one. It all
combines to remind us<BR>that we're in one amazing family. We tangibly feel your
prayers, and<BR>thank you again.</FONT><BR><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
