Just got my biopsy verdict and it's basal cell carcinoma skin cancer as I suspected Slow growing, doesn't metastasize, the "good" kind, but it does have to be removed. Healing takes a month due to its location, so I won't be able to swim. I'm just maxed out on ,medical procedures but this will be a new experience on Friday. I'm just reminded of my good friend who died from melanoma and how much we need stem cell research. Due to the heat - 112 in Phoenix I was not able to attend my first anti-war rally this AM, Bush is coming to Luke AFB and El Mirage nearby. I really hate missing this. I never protested Vietnam and I should have. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn Ray
