oops, I should really check in more often.....
Yes, I was kidding. Dad's cancer seems to be gone. He's continuing with chemo for 5 months to make sure they've killed the last of it, but his "count", which is supposed to be less than 5 (cancer free), has been at 2 for the last couple of blood tests. Of course, the 5-year point is the one we're shooting for -- after that, if he's still cancer-free, they call it "cured".
Thanks for your concern though mari

: . I was making fun of the tinfoil hat guy (no real offense intended, though - just playin)
