Dear fellow List participants,

I am very sorry to have to say that I am going into Mt. Sinai Hospital in
NYC on Monday  10/27/2014
to undergo surgery . They think I have a liver cancer . Either Hepatic
cellular carcinoma  or *coleoangelo carcinoma* ( Cancer of the bile duct).
They are both bad but The later is actually much worse. I have been to a
local hospital (North Shore which is part of Long Island Jewish Hillside
medical center) which is a good hospital, but I have also been to NYU
Langone,  Sloan Kettering memorial Hospital, and MT Sinai Hospital. The
last three are considered to be among the best cancer hospitals in the
world and Memorial Sloan Kettering is only for cancer is is considered to
be one of the best in the world. I have had countless diagnostic procedures
(cat scans, Sonograms, MRI's and biopsies) The tests have ranged from
inconclusive  to  conclusive but not definitive. So on Monday I am
undergoing a surgical biopsy where they will perform the biopsy while I am
on the operating table. If the results show a malignancy the will preform a
liver resection. That is where the remove the section of the liver that
contains the tumor and it has the best chance of completely eradicating the
cancer. There is a significant risk involved but the risk is worth the
potential reward. I just wanted to let everyone  know how much I have
enjoyed my association with the group and have never met a group with such
substantial proportion of the members were gentlemen and all were ready
,willing, ans when able to assist other members. So in the event I
disappear from the list you will all know what happened to me. I hope
that  this letter will be nothing more then a humorous footnote in the
history of "The Big list" but if not I wanted everyone to know how much I
enjoyed and appreciated my association  with them.  And as has been said
many times before "Drive like there is no tomorrow for there may not be.
Sincerely , with Love and deepest affection,

Hugh Boyd Casey
