I'm using a copy of the nice signature you made, I hope it's ok with you.. I also used yellow flowers for my avatar, as a sign of a missed friend.<br><br>

I don't mind Waleed. I was afraid it might be upsetting. Missed friend is right. <br><br>

Wow, it's so sad to hear about this. I recently had a scare myself... I had a CT Scan that revealed a tumor that was taking up 75% of my bladder. They went in and took the whole thing out, which revealed it was all superficial (a good thing) and it hadn't invaded the walls or muscle of the bladder. Which was good, because if it had, they would've had to remove the bladder...<br><br>Now I just have to go back once a week for 6 weeks to inject medicine, then once every 3 months for a year to check up on it, then once a year for 5 years...<br><br>My thoughts are with you and your family Mike...
