I don't know how to say this without sounding cold or without getting emotional. I have tried to write this several times today. So here it is. Mike has been diagnosed with cancer. It started in his kidney and has spread to his lung. He will not take chemo and wants to leave. He has planned to go to a place in Mexico called Oasis. I looked it up online and it looks like a great choice. I visualize him making a full recovery, returning healthier than ever, going snook and redfishing in the 10,000 islands and hunting for ghost orchids in the fakahatchee swamp. Please see him in a similar way.
PS.I took him a printout of your prayers and comments. He smiled really big.
Peace

It's o.k. to get emotional. This is heartbreaking news. I'll continue to pray for Mike's full recovery. I respect his decision for alternative treatment. Drugs and invasive treatments have a history of even further weakening the body.
