Take this seriously!
He had surgery for a colon tumor...will be having ongoing chemo treatment soon.
EVERYONE~~have your colonoscopy done. It is a breeze apart from the large volume of liquid you have to drink. It may save your life and much sorrow for your loved ones!
See my husband's message on AmemricanChronicle.com on this!

- Hello Barbara, and a belated Happy New year to you. Yes, we have had weeks of very cold weather and lots of snow. It started the week before and lasted for most of January. This is a small village on top of a hill, about 1000' feet up in the Peak District, so transport was difficult. At times we were cut off and that even made national TV. Many roads were blocked by snow drifts and even last week there were still some around 5-6' with the road cut through after the thaw. It has been much milder for a few days but the forecast is for more cold weather and more snow. All this means that the garden is left untouched and is behind schedule. I always use a long dormancy garlic which should go in about now. Looks like it will be late.

- Thanks for all the good wishes. Unfortunately, they were unable to remove his tumor~~he had some new small lesions. He will resume chemo next week. He is doing well right now. We are hoping the chemo will keep it under control. There are no guarantees!
