I just wanted to thank you all for all the prayers and good wishes. A year ago I found that I had a brain tumor called a "Glioma". I had surgery and then 6 weeks of radiation but then in June I had to skip my trip to St. John for a second surgery because the tumor appeared again. I have been undergoing Chemo treatments and as of my last MRI (last thursday) the remaining tumor has been reduced in size. It has been a long,trying year but finally some good news. My family and friends have been so helplful and strong. So thanks again to you, my forum family, for all your prayers, well wishes and encouragement. I have one more Chemo treatment and hoping to talk my beach babe into a return to the rock to celebrate.

That's GREAT news Scott. I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard to talk your beach babe into a trip. You both deserve it.
