I haven't been contributing to the Photo Gallery lately because of a medical condition. I won't bore you with a lot of detail but wanted you to know I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Had surgery this past Monday and came home from the hospital yesterday, Thursday. Had many praying for me and according to the biopsy report it didn't enter into any of the lymph nodes. It was evidently caught in time so there will be no need for chemo. I'm looking forward to getting back to shooting once my surgery soreness heals.

Hang in there and keep a positive attitude. I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor. Cancer free 12 years now. Regular colonoscopys are important.

Thanks John. I have a blood test every 6 months because of leukemia so due to that it was caught early.

That's great Ken. I believe due to this my colonoscopies will be once per year instead of every 5 years.

Thank you. It may be a week or so before I get out due to soreness. My daughter, who I had not seen since since August 2019 because of the pandemic, arrived yesterday for a two week stay.
