I'm flying to Queen's Medical Center on O'ahu at 6 a.m. tomorrow
(Monday) morning for my RLRP scheduled for 7 a.m. Tuesday. I have not
been sleeping well the past few days and I have had a lot of anxiety,
but I continue to reassure myself that everything will be o.k.
I look forward to rejoining this group upon my return, and possibly
sharing my experiences with the newer members of our *club*.

Thank you, and until we meet again...

All the best, Mike. I would be more than happy to house sit for you cuz
our temp is about minus 20C with the windchill, grin. (Toronto,

You will do just fine and we will be thinking of you!!

Best of luck to you Mike.
Soon you'll be talking to a doctor who will chat with you as he
puts a little squirt of something in your IV and the next thing
you'll know you'll wake up and be cancer free.

I am sure, Mike, that your medical advisors have told you that there is
always a chance of problems with any surgery. But, I have been here for
five years and seen the stories of over 700 people, and not one that I know
of died during surgery. As a matter of fact, I have to say that the actual
surgery is the easiest part for the patient. He sleeps right through it.
I will be thinking of you on the 20th and praying for you and your surgeon.
I think it will be about 1 p.m. our time.

Steve is absolutely right Mike.
I know he's asked everyone to report any problems they've had
and not a single person reported dying during surgery :)
