I feel like we should send him a card or something to the hospital. Does anyone have any ideas? I would be happy to shell out the bucks.

From his blog This is Gloria, Tim`s wife, writing just to let everyone know that he has been admitted to the hospital in Roanoke, VA. and From the Carilion Clinic web site I get these addeesses. for mail P.O. Box 13367 Roanoke, VA 24033 for deliveries 1906 Belleview Ave. Roanoke, VA 24014 And then there's this on Derb's Blog. He would really appreciate hearing from his friends. Anyone who wants his address and phone number can email this address: n3drb@comcast.netI don`t know if it would be a good idea or not to post his contact info here, so just email and let me know who you are and I`ll give you the info.

Hi guys, it`s Glo again. Thanks for all the get well wishes for Tim. I dec ided to go ahed and post his contact info. It`s not like he`s in the Witness Protection Program or anything. And the addy Steve posted up above might get your mail to him, but I think this address will work better: Timothy West c/o Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital Room # 1062 Belleview at Jefferson Street Roanoke VA 24014 attn: Patient Services His phone number direct to his room is: 1-540-266-5923 He is pretty bummed out right now and it would cheer him up a lot if he heard from any/all of you guys!

Ok, I said I wasn`t going to do a lot of updates here, but this news is just too damn good NOT to share!!! Yesterday afternoon, Tim`s doc told him that after reviewing his new MRI films, the spot on his brain that the docs here thought was new cancer growth is NOT cancer after all, but it is necrosis, or dead brain tissue, from all the treatments he`s had in the past. While dead brain tissue certainly isn`t a good thing, it`s a whole heck of a lot better than new cancer growing, and Tim was very relieved to hear the news. Turns out that the MRI they have in Roanoke is more advanced than the one they have here in Martinsburg, and the doc said it`s like looking at an MRI in HD. The old films weren`t distinguishable as not being cancer, so the mistake was understandable, but still very troubling for us, never the less..... From now on, whenever Tim needs an MRI, we`ll make the 3 hour trip to Roanoke. He still has some issues with seizure activity and the use of his left hand, (which has diminished greatly since his recent seizure), so the docs are getting together today and deciding on a course of treatment for those things. So things are looking up, it seems. Finally.

That news is FANTASTIC! I had been reading all the bad news this morning from the BP spill to the mid-east turmoil. Then while feeling really down I started reading the news about Derb. I was feeling lower as I read. Then. the post about the findings that the spot was just necrosis and not cancer! That erased all the bad news of the day. What great news! Wow!

Great news, OM!! Nothing like a false alarm to make us appreciate the good things we presently have. Fred said, "Something is brewing." Could that be the Uncle Ray project? T

Okay I'm trying to keep track of the plot developments here.
So let me get this right, Derb broke his ankle, that's bad, right ?
NO THAT's GOOD
Huh?
Well, if he hadn't a broke his ankle we wouldn't know the cancer's remissed.
That's good ?
THAT'S WAY GOOD
