But business will be as normal with Eva running it and lets face it, it will probably be an improvement ;)

Good luck Paul
Thanks John, will be over to the other place in a moment, for posting this. Here's the full story.

This morning I learned I had a 99% chance of having cancer in my tongue. They will perform a biopsy in 10 days, following other tests to determine exactly what, where and how bad it is. After that they plan to put me on a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The whole thing will take 2-3 months and will leave me a bit on the down side.

Yes halfpint it is to do with what I was saying on ICQ last week. Been feeling off color for a while and the last weeks have been terrible.

Eva and I are making plans for me to have the treatment as an out patient as 3 months in a ward with old men speaking Czech is not what I need. Having my family around me is what I need. We are also taking a few steps to make sure Eva along with our staff can run the business and customers, members and affiliates will not be effected by my absence. As John points out there's a chance service will improve. LOL

This morning the doctor assured me my chances of pulling through are good. So I'm staying positive.

What I suppose I don't need is debating on the boards. I might post some pictures of me if I get really scary looking. Until then, it's goodnight from me. Be good.
