We had more good news here in our family; my close Michigan cousin, who's
as close as a brother, has had radiation treatments for his prostate
cancer
and that cancer is now in remission! In his new outlook of his life
ahead,
he's got his sweetie wife talked into the Ford Mustang he's always
wanted -
and don't ask me which one, but it will be a beauty, I'm sure. ha.

All is good here. Hubby still treading water with his heart failure, but
we're all so thankful he's still with us.

Happy Thanksgiving to all on RORT - even Linus. <VBG>

Do you know if your cousin used the "seed" method? I have a close friend
who was just diagnosed and he is trying to decide on his options.
