I'm really glad to get a followup from Budbent about how things are going. woodenidol - if there is anyone anywhere on this site that you should listen to, it is Bud. I've been through colon cancer surgery and chemo, twice, and it stopped in my liver and didn't make it to the lungs. Livers grow back, lungs (and colons) do not. My lung capacity trouble arose from low hematocrit during chemo, and a little EPO fixed that right up. EPO is magic.
