Unhappy An open apology

I need to apologize to some people on this board whom I made plans with to get together over my vacation to do some fishing. It did not happen. Clammer, JohnR, Bassmaster, Slipknot, Labrador1 and others I might have forgotten. My vacation was not a good one. My wife was diagnosed with level 4 Melanoma. We have been to Onconlogists and surgeons over the last two weeks. She goes under the knife on this Friday morning to have more tissue removed and sentinel lymph nodes removed for further biopsy and hopefully treatment. The doctor told us she was in a "gray area". She is scared and so am I. She doesn't deserve this!!!!!!!!! The results of the biopsies will take a week to ten days to get. I can't really concentrate on fishing or anything right now so hope you guys can forgive me for not getting in touch. Thanks for understanding, Steve S.

Why even try.........

Best of Luck to your wife Flaptail. Hope it all works out for the best. I'm sure she takes comfort in knowing that she'll have good support from you no matter what.
