Dear Paul (and the Group),

Thank you very much for asking. I don't think any one can do better
than to have their friend's ask how they are doing. Which is pretty
damn good, all things considered. Medically, the cancer's 'scores'
have been substantially flat for the last eight weeks. The oncologist

Fan-damn-tastic news! Glad to hear it!

I understand the gravity and problem with your pain in your back. I fight a
similar fight, although it does not sound as bad as your pain situation. I
hope you find some relief.

In addition to your other strategies in beating your pain, if you have not
tried accupuncture, you should give it a try. One method of attack will
likely not do it, but the little needles hooked up to some electricity do
seem to help, at least for me.

from the local lumber yard.

I'm reading with interest. One other note, though. If a person does not
have a circular saw already, one of the small table top saws can be
purchased for near the same price as a good circular saw.
