[Rockhounds] List In response:

[teresa jetter]

Hi everyone,
  In response to all of the nice things that were
said, the great rock hound information to my question
about Texas, and the cancer that Perry is facing.
  We have gone through the second clean out (surgery),
and he is all bandaged up and healing.  They had to
take all the meat out of the leg under the right knee,
but that is better than losing the leg!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have started at Ohio State's Arthur G. James
Sarcoma Center, but they told us they would have many
other tests to go through before he can start any
chemo/radiation.  He is still talking about M D
Anderson as a choice, so some of you may see us in
Texas.
Again, that you for your caring words, Prayers, and
kind spirit!
