John,
   I have been away from the computer for a long time. Health problems. This resulted in a colonoscopy which revealed cancer in the colon. It was about the size of an orange. A portion of the colon was removed, which took all the cancer, however there are a few lymph nodes with cancer, so I will undergo some chemo to clear them all. Our loving Heavenly Father has provided for my care, even before I knew I needed it. I was working on my final book, when in the middle of it my computer crashed and that file became corrupt and will no longer open. I asked the Father to reveal to me why He had taken the book from me. Now I know it was for my own best good. He knew I had cancer -- I did not know. Perhaps He will give the book back to me and let me finish it -- but if not, He knows best and I thank and praise Him for his tender care.

Bonnie,
My younger brother, age 45, went through the same experience about 2 years ago. The portion of his colon removed was about the size of a fist, i.e. more or less an orange. He went through chemo as 4 of his lymph nodes were infected. He is under remission.
Take care!
John
