To all of my dear DU friends...Thank you

[Mikimouse]

I will not be able to get on-line again, perhaps for a infinitely long time. This is not a choice of mine. as W.C. Fields once, said (on his tombstone), "All in all, I'd rather be in Philadelphia". I think he had the right idea. I am in the hospital, for only the second major surgery of my life, but this one isn't a tonsillectomy. Tomorrow afternoon, I be having a neurosurgical procedure to remove, or at least reduce the size of what appears to be a metastatic lesion in the posterior fossa. It has exerted eough pressure on the cerebelum that I have intractable dizziness and nausea for about 7 weeks, which no medication we tried would relieve. Everyone thought that it was simply a prostate infection, and treated it as such. Unfortunately, such was not the case. I have two lesions in the brain, and what appear to 4 lesions in the left lung, so the probability of lung primary/ brain mets is very high.
I just wanted to take this time, very quickly, and tell all of you that I have greatly enjoyed our time together. We all seemed to find some modicum of comfort here, and we all filled a needed niche. Be well, my friends, and take good care. If I am still here in a week, I will have someone contact you. Au Revoir, Nick
