Good luck Tony.
It's great that we all have such good friends praying and rooting for us.
I have just emailied one of my friends who lives about 50 miles away and he has 
offered to pick me up and take me fishing wherever I want to go so i might get 
to try out the flies I have been tying.

To keep this a bit fishing related on the 31st July 40 years ago I made the 
best catch of my life, my wife Sue,she has been a bit of a fishing widow all 
those years and now joins me on the bank as I have not been allowed to carry 
tackle or land big fish ( no problem there )
Tight Lines to you all

  Hi Birdie:

  You continue to be in our thoughts  prayers. As I recall, there are other 
members of VFB who are also unwell.
  They are Pete Camp who was also undergoing chemo and Jim Phillips who has 
ascites and Tony Spezio who has 
  experienced several mini-strokes.  

  If any of them read this, perhaps they can give us an update.

  Best wishes to you all

  Hi All

  Just thought I would let you all know that I have finished chemo for 3 months 
(my body wont take any more for that time )
  I have had a CT scan and am having a PET scan today, hopefully the tumors 
have shrunk and will stay that way so that i might feel healthy for a bit.

  I am hoping to get some trout fishing in soon and have started tying flies 
again so cant all be bad.

  My thoughts and prayers to everyone who have been posting about illness and 
other tragedies lately.

  Birdie

Brian,

Glad to hear you are up to tying and fishing.  Can you still lie well enough to 
be a good fisherman, tho?  LOL

Let us know how the tests came out.

I know how bad medical bills break the Kitty, so if you didn't get a Rope-dub 
DVD, send me your mailing addy and I'll send you one for free, along with lots 
of samples to work from during your recovery. It's the least I can do.

Hi Birdie;
 
I wish you great success in your chemo sesion.  If you feel sick to your 
stomach, hopefully your docs allow some type of THC treatment to counteract 
it.  Don't ask how I know this works LOL!
 
My thoughts a prayers for a speady recovery and subsequent remission
