I'll be glad to include you in them.The guys who has sat five feet away from me at work for the past three years is fighting for his life at the moment after suffering three strokes in the past ten days. He only a few years older than me (not even 50) and has a daughter about the same age as mine.Also, speaking of polyps, I only get to see my daughter up here for a couple of weeks a year since my ex moved 600 miles away (I go down there and visit as often as I can). Anyhow, while she's here in a couple of weeks, I'll have to take my 14 year old daughter in for a colonoscopy. They determined a few years ago that she has the same gene mutation which caused her mother and grandmother to develop polyposis, so she has to get checked out every couple of years. In all liklihood, she'll develop it at some point and have to have her colon removed like my ex and her mom did.So, yeah, I can sort of feel where you're coming from and I'll be happy to send out good thoughts, Steve. The good news is that everything you've mentioned is usually treatable to the point of full recovery. Hope you feel better soon.-Dave</blockquote>
