Hi Everyone

Have not been on the site over the past few weeks. I have been diagnosed with a brain tumor, apparently pretty bad, an astrogliocytoma multiforme?

So anyway, I am at Johns Hopkins starting chemotherapy and irradiation, and plan to be back home by the end of the year.

I do have a website that I post on: CaringBridge. Free Websites That Support And Connect Loved Ones During Critical Illness.. I am under louiskurland (no caps or spaces), so you can do there for info.

Also I probably will not be on the pixalo site very often for awhile, so if you care to send me a note, I am iz4u954@gmail.com.

Thanks to all of you guys for everything.
