I have read and reread most of this thread as it developed.

I wish you all the best, and I wanted to thank you Jim, and all the others for helping me keep perspective on things..

Crossing my fingers and sending some good vibes down your way!

Update,
  Yesterday I got a phone call from the chemo Dr. and he informed me that I would not be able to use the chemo pill he told be about earlier. So chemotherapy is out and there will be none as other chemo would cause more trouble than not having any. In other words the chemo would probably make me feel much worse than not having any which would not help anyway. There is a slim possibility of more radiation if they determine the cancer is going to other places. There is no other help available so will wait it out remembering that I have not had  a short life and  that it has  been a very good one.

Indeed it has, Jim.  Your positive attitude is an inspiration to us all.  Hope I have the same courage you do when the time comes.  Peace be with you.

Not what I'd hoped to hear about the pill.   Think of you and your strength and spirit often.  Praying for you and your family!

Jim, thank you for thinking enough of us to keep us apprised of your condition. All of us are so much richer knowing you... even if it's only through the FF.
