Thanks Bill. Yeah. they got the tumour out eventually, but, unfortunately they also have to remove a lot of other things, I won't bore you (or scare you to death), with all the gory medical details, have a look on Wikipedia for Pelvic Exenteration, that should give you some idea of what I had done. Generally, in Britain, Cancer Patients are under their local Hospital's guidance for 5 years after surgery, I have to have an annual interview with my Oncologist and also have lots of tests, blood samples, CT Scans and other things to ensure the Cancer cells haven't appeared anywhere else, so far, so good, but, I am not out of the woods yet, and I will always have to be careful what I do for the rest of my life.
I can still play on my computer and drink copious amounts of tea and coffee whilst playing my games and keep an eye on what everyone is doing around the world, across all the Simulators I have been involved with for the last 15 years, or, so, you 'aint going to get rid of me that quickly......

Keep smiling and look after yourselves, and enjoy the game whilst you can.
Cheerz. Steve.
