Scary Diagnosis
For those who don't know, my dear wife Stephanie was diagnosed with papillary cancer of the thyroid last week. We are now over the inital shock, and feeling much more at ease after hearing from many sources that this is a very treatable form of cancer. Our spirits have also been buoyed by all of the well-wishes and offers of support... thank you! And for those who offered the support, be prepared; because we might just take you up on it. :-)
Here's an excellent link (originally posted at GRS) that explains a lot about this particular form of cancer: Thyroid Cancer Survivors' Association.

All my love to you -- I'm glad that you are feeling more settled and optimistic after the initial shock. I am, too. I read the article on J.D.'s Get Rich Slowly, too, and that was very helpful. I will do what I can to assist you -- as you know, it will depend a lot on the scheduling due to my minor surgical procedure coming up. I await more news quite anxiously.

Read about your diagnosis on Dishpan Dribble. Sending up a prayer for a full recovery right now.
