Default Jim's back!

I am through with my radiation treatment tomorrow, and expect a full recovery thanks to many prayers and well wishers here.

Some of you may know I have been fighting advanced, incurable prostate cancer, but I consider that a mear flesh wound.

Just before my radiation therapy began, I had an emergency heart operation, with two stents and a balloon catheter installed to fix 95% blockage in one artery and its branches. Another surface scratch.

During my radiation therapy which lasted almost 8 weeks, I contracted the flu, which sent me into the emergency room with it's nastiness.

Wow! What a year!

I expect to be back in the thick of things by this summer, with a new C6 Stinger Intake by April.

I want to thank Andy Green of A&A Corvette, who I conside a very good friend. He held up our ship during this storm by keeping the intake systems alive.

Thank you Corvette Forum!!!!!!
