Jay, you're doing a great job of documenting this process for all of us, those of us who don't have cancer and don't know anyone who does, but probably will someday. I didn't come to this blog for the personal stuff and didn't read the cancer posts at first, but you have indeed created an enthralling spectacle, in the very best sense of the word. Wish you well.
