Good morning,

Does anyone know what Guppy forum he belongs to? Jim and I became good friends through this forum and he seriously ill right now. His wife asked that I let his friends on the fish forums, particularly the Guppy forum, know how he's doing. He is in the hospital now and will be for a while. The illness is quite serious. If someone happens to know I'll join that group to tell them or if you happen to be on the same group....

Thank you,

Debbie

Hi Kimo. I am sorry to hear you are unwell. I know it probably doesn't mean a lot at the moment, but I just wanted you to know that my aunt was successfully treated for Squamous Cell Carcinoma and like you she was at stage 4 when she was diagnosed. She has been 5 years cancer-free now. Best wishes to you and your family.

Thank you one and all for the good wishes.
I don't think there is time for a second opinion, but it won't stop me from trying. Chemo and radiation treatments start Oct 1, 08.
I already feels like fluid is starting to build beneath my stomach helping to cut off air. I've also come down with congestive heart failure.

Just remember that all of you will be in my heart forever.

Jim
