Was this a diagnosis that just hit or an ongoing suspected result?

More importantly is there anything I or others here can do to help you through this?

Oh man ...

What can I say? I'm stunned and terribly sorry.

last week I learned I needed to cough up $5200 for my daughter's braces and then my transmission went in my new pre-owned vehicle for $2400.

at least an iPhone isn't a necessity for most people.

you could get a used ATT phone & put your iphone sim in it until you can afford a replacement iphone.

z- That's 3, so your karma is up for an improvement. Buy 2 lottery tickets. The beer keg is your first karma balancer.

Martin-


All I can say is, good luck, and may the deity of your choice bless and keep you. Keep us posted here- there are any number of cancer survivors, medical professionals, and generally caring people that can act as your virtual support group.

Just remember- you are NOT alone.

martin,
I am very sorry to read your news. I looked at the Wiki article and it looks like there might be some new drug treatments in the works, at least I hope there are.

Martin, I am stunned and saddened to hear your news. I hope they will learn something new about the disease or its treatment that will change your odds for the better.

Ziff, you probably should have held this post until Friday or Saturday. Then you could have included the news about the turkey exploding .

Martin, sorry to hear of your troubles. Maybe Ziff will post some pictures of the turkey for comedic relief.
