Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst

Bob,

I will miss your reasoned responses. Hope everything goes well and you are back before you know it.

If you do have to sit in bed or at least sit for awhile, you might want to consider getting a laptop with a wireless card. Might be something to keep you busy and your mind off of everything.

Good luck to you Bob, and come back soon !! Your contributions here are great.

God bless you !!

This is the kind of news you would never wish to hear. And I don't wish to hear an experienced, supportive, moderate voice in civil engineering go quiet.

Still, I can try to console you with the recent memory of a friend diagnosed with a leukemia, who recovered after months of relatively little response to treatment.

Good Luck!

I second the motion.

No swan songs allowed...... You will get thru this. God bless..

Good luck to you. Hope to see you back here soon.

P.S. I cut some newsgroups because they don't exist to Teranews.

Damn! Go fight and we'll all be thinkin' of ya'...

I don't think it will be, either. I will pray for you, good soul.

Bob, My best wishes for a speedy recovery. You will - as demonstrated by the many responses - be missed while you are away. Tom Baker

Wow, Bob... I just looked AML up, and apparently, depending on what subtype you have, your chances can range quite a bit. How up to the challenge are you?

Doubly coincidentally, they apparently found a body floating today in English Bay here in Vancouver, and of course, we've been discussing health-care issues in the thread, "20 Years". (Michael Moore's film, 'Sicko', is slated for a June 29th. release.)

Looking forward to the details of your report, and maybe even a film-review.

Kick ass.

Richard

Good Luck, and hope to see you back on here soon

Bob, I'm very sorry to hear your news. Best of luck with your biopsy tomorrow and let's hope it is a false alarm.

Matt

I'll miss your reponses, Bob--hope you are back soon.

Godspeed, Bob.

Good luck Bob! Stay positive and all will be well!

Good luck & God bless!

I know you'll do your best, as always. Good luck, Bob. We're all waiting to hear from you.

Always appreciate your solid and professional repartees.

A wish and a prayer for you. Dan

The best of luck to you Bob.
