Awhile back we had talked about Medical procedure you were about to take.
Did everything go OK?

I just found out 8 days ago. I guess it kind of took until today to email my Vietnam buddies and I wanted to put in on the PF. I'm a real beleiver in the AO desease's now. I think 60 is kind of young to have prostate canser. I plan on having radiation treatments and had some gold markers implanted yesturday. ouch""" I have an appointment next week regarding the treatment and will know more. I already filed a claim with the VA and I'm talking to a counsler. I've been having a real problem with any little stress thing that comes up. I'm sure the Doctors will tell me next week that I can be cured.

When I was ready to talk. The first place after Wife and daughter was the PF and Nam buddies. I'll send a donation to PF soon. I can't mentally handle it right now. I keep some pictures of my 1968 Vietnam buddies and our reunions at work because Ive been proud our time there. I'll put them away for a while as I don't quite feel that way right now.
