    Yep.....the guy that wasn't a prolific poster to begin with.
    I really tried to be patient with the Avenue, but there comes a time when even patience and stubbornness aren't enough.

    I'll still be a bit scarce around here. I now have to be primary caregiver to a cancer-stricken wife in in-home Hospice care. I expect to be a widower sometime in the next couple of months.

    That being said, I really don't want to sound like an ingrate, but I ask that you reserve your thoughts and prayers for those whom might still have some hope of recovery. This has been ongoing for a year or better, and the tumors aren't responding to therapies. The brain tumor went away for about two months after radiation treatment, but is back, with a "friend", so any hope is lost, and this was her decision to stop all treatments.

    I am mentally prepared for the inevitable, and am really trying to be a "hardass" about all this. I just hope I don't come out on the other side of it as a more despicable human being than should be allowed to exist.

    Thanks for letting me "vent".....Roger

    Welcome Roger. Just lost my mom to cancer. It's a real bitch! I wish they'd quit pissing away money on mars bullshit and spend it on finding a cure. Even my young wife of 38 had a round of breast cancer! She wasn't even due for her first mammogram, but I found a lump one night messing around. Lucky I was doing a thorough, ahem, exam that night!:p
