Thanks everyone! I had a good day today. Found out I'm going to Johns Hopkins next Thursday for a consultation. Things are going our way now.

Keep us posted!

Hi All,

We had a great appointment at Johns Hopkins and I'll be having my surgery there on Jan. 20th. The chief of the pancreatic cancer center will be doing it, so we are feeling really blessed. JH is the best in the US for this surgery. He believes my tumor is cancer, so we're geared up for that and pleased that he said it is small, contained and easily removed. So, after the 20th. I'll be offline for a week or two, but I will jump back in when I'm feeling up to it.

Thanks again for your positive thoughts and prayers. Keep them coming!

Sincerely,
Bill

Bill, I'm really glad to hear this. Move with all possible haste, and let us know how you're doing. I'm pulling for you.

Thanks guys. Yep, we're moving this as fast as we can and JH has been very helpful in doing so.

Sounds like good news, at least in this situation. Wishing you the best during this Doc!

Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sounds like you have the right people involved, caught it early, and you're gonna whoop this thing and be finishing bass projects before you know it! Looking forward to your speedy recovery.
