Health Issue

     While I have been writing articles about the various speakers we have had out to our meetings, this short article is about myself, and my health.

     My colon cancer (2004) has returned to my system, metasticizing in my lung, among other parts of my system.  After conferring with my oncologist, their decision is not to do surgery.  So today, June 6th, I started my first session of chemo.

     While the prognosis is a harsh one, I'll take my treatments, and go each day at a time.  At some point, I will have to ask for someone to take over my responsibilities for organizing the set up for the meetings, and the related duties (Door Duty & Set-Up and Greeter) .  Hans Pilz is looking after the booking of speakers, so that end is covered.

     I pondered how to impart the news, and, being too emotional to stand before the club with this data, decided this venue was the best route to go.

     See you at the June 10th meeting, where we will go to the Pitch and Putt after, and I hope to kick everybody's butt.
