First of all the joyous news that Laura is driving to see
us today. I haven't seen her for three years. We are in
touch every day but it will be so good to give her a good
hug and we have thought of several things that she would
enjoy doing.

Now for the bad news. Bobby has to have another PET scan.
There are nodules in his lungs. After all that poisonous
Chemo that he endured, we are hoping against hope that it
is not cancer. He had a private disability insurance but
yesterday was the last day of it and the oncologist is
doing the paper work to extend it to long term disability.
The co-pays on his health insurance are exorbitant. He
had a CT scan last week since he is having a lot of distress
from the loss of a lot of his colon. It is evidently as
good as it gets and something he has to live with.

I never trouble trouble until trouble troubles me so I can
just going to enjoy being with Laura and hope for the best.
Am I cynical in believing that there would be a cure for
cancer if there was not so much money involved in the
treatment? Greed is so pervasive in our society.
