Mike: Thanks a lot. I hope it;s the easy kind too, because I'm not sure I'd even go to get chemo. #1, it makes you sick as a dog and since having five hiatal hernia surgeries I cannot throw up, only dry heaves, and #2 that stuff (along with radiation) don't know a cancer cell from a good cell as far as I know. Guess I'll cross that bridge if/when I get to it as they say. Chuck
