Redback,
You are thorough. I should be getting some info on my cousin's condition tonight since the surgery was scheduled for yesterday.

You wrote: "It's pretty easy to understand how overwhelming this can be for you and your family."

I can't imagine what it must be like for his immediate family. The child and I are less close than even his mother and I were. She's much older than I am, so we didn't play as children or anything. So my mother usually does all the communicating (which I suppose she would anyway as talking is one of my least favourite things). Of course I still get frustrated just because of the limitation that cancer itself poses. But I don't want to over-emphasize *my* dilemma, which is slight in comparison to what they must be going through.

Anyway, will get info and post as soon as I can.

Thanks for support and good wishes.
