I have never met you, SeattleMike. But this news touches me deeply. Perhaps it is because we, along with many others on this forum, share similar interests and passions. We have shared stories of success and failure, like friends would. Perhaps it is the life altering events, such as yours, which can strike at random. It makes me stop and reflect upon my own world. I urge you to not give up so easily. On a personal aside, my father has had brain surgery three times in 15 years to remove tumors. He just got an "All clear" from an MRI as a follow up. So dont loose hope, the body is an amazing machine, more resilient than we think. Please keep on posting, news of your progression will be encouraged or supported I'm sure. Perhaps a new thread? SeattleMike's New Project? I'm sorry if this post seems a little scattered, its hard to do on a phone while your working. I'm not a religious man, but my best wishes go out to you and your family.
