Hi all -- I have referred a friend of mine to this list.  I expect that he 
will subscribe in the next day or so.  He has just been diagnosed with cancer 
of 
the stomach and esophagus, with possible metastasis to the liver.  They 
cannot do surgery -- I believe that chemo is his only allopathic option.  He is 
in 
the process of that, but his doctors have told him that there is virtually no 
hope.  If there is anyone here who can be of help to him, please be looking 
for his intro post.  He has an 8-year old son.  He desperately wants to live 
long enough to raise his son.  Thank you.       MA
