whipsnade,
my therapy car is a 1969 mustang fastback with a big block that I race on weekends when I'm up to it. It runs low 10 sec 1/4 mile on the engine and 9.35 with nitrous. And I know what a Pantera is. cool car. But I'm sure most of the folks reading this aren't "car people".

Going in for treatment tomorrow, gonna rent a movie and watch it on my portable DVD player. If you all don't have one, you should get one. It will keep your mind off your chemo...

all for now.
Tom

hey now tom, i hope you are tolerating the chemo well. it sounds like you spent time/duckets on your ride. i will take my car someday (when i feel better) to the quarter track. i probably run it very gingerly. i am very worried about breaking something (can"t afford it right now). it has a dart iron eagle block (462ci) with aluminum heads, 680 lift rollcam, 11:1 compression, demon 900cfm carb and tuned for running 116. i can go on but you get the idea. i don"t have the strength i use to have (at least for now). i just had ct scan to determine what needs to be done for my cancer removal/colostomy. they called me the next day (left message) to come in to "review" the results. they dicovered a 12 cm mass in my liver not a met from original cancer. that surguery was cancelled a new one was arranged for liver section. this growth occured in less than a year. they will first look at surrounding tissue, if all clear, they will continue the operation. if not they will close up and, well, thats as far as his explanation went. he also said that most people can live with less than 25 percent of their liver? anyway i can't believe how fast things could change in such a small amount of time. i will be praying for you as well as others including myself and ask god to help us understand why we are going through this crap, and ask for his mercy along with his magic touch.
