Rich S Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 After three months of being told I had metastatic cancer; 16 biopsies and major surgery - it was all benign. Still have one more surgery to go thru on Friday, then hopefully when I recover from that, I'll be back in shape (for the shape I'm in :-) Thanks all for your good wishes. Hope to be rejoining the discussions soon. Rich Quote

Rich S Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Posted October 16, 2007 Thanks guys. Good to be "almost" back :-) Still best to contact me via the board's private message system. Hopefully I'll be able to check it periodically soon. I haven't re-set my Yahoo mail yet. I've missed talking and playing with swords and tsuba :-) Rich Quote
Martin Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Hi Rich, best wishes for a quick recovery from Germany too. Cancer in my opinion is one of the most "unnecessary" things we have to deal with (not to forget Hagire of course :D ) Keep your tail up! Quote
Brian Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Rich, That is the best news I have heard in ages. I have had many emails asking if I had heard anything. You have lots of friends and fans out there Take it easy, get some well deserved rest, and keep us updated. All the best to you. Brian Quote
Jean Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Rich, back from France (and don't listen to Brian's lies, the best news he's got this week-end is South Africa rugby team being in Final of the world Champion's Cup :lol: :lol: ) Quote
