<DIV>Hello everyone -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Have been looking forward to our 45th with camera in hand!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yet, recently, reality has come to the forefront . . . after 4 weeks of
tests at Sloan-Kettering, my younger son, Zach, has been diagnosed with cancer .
. . testicular. The prognosis is great, yet he must undergo weeks of chemo. He
is such an inspiration, at 27: going to work everyday, shooting on the weekends:
sporting clays, et al - as he puts it, with every clay pigeon I kill ( a dead
shot and award winner), I also kill this cancer. And he is also socializing.
Yes, scared, but going forward with knowledge and head held high.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>By virtue of Sloan and many questions asked, he knows what is ahead . . .
hair loss, nausea, fatigue . . .</DIV>
<DIV>the great thing is that he has been with his dad, Stewart, every step of
the way! Such a bonding! And he has been communicating with me and his brother,
Ben.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been doing research, so I also knows what is ahead. His chemo starts
the weekend of reunion - by virtue of unknown reactions, I must remain here for
him. Yes, we are all optimistic. Am now wearing a Livestrong for him, as are my
entire family and friends, for Zach has the same kind of cancer that Lance
Armstrong had, yet it has not traveled to the brain . . . the yellow bracelet is
encouragement for me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Take lots of pics, ladies, and send them to me . . . yes, shall be in next
K-O News!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Love to you all - Happy 45th - and remember the 60 is the new 50!</DIV>
