Hi, Allen!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

AP>  Dallas Hinton...

AP>  Now there's a familiar name from days gone by.


          Seems to me you've been in Fidonet for awhile too....  ;-)



AP>  they don't want to cut on me because last time being
AP>  diabetic I ended up with a nasty staph infection...


          Hmm.  I understand healing tends to be slow with type I
diabetes... and I guess that could make a person more vulnerable to
infection.



AP>  I am beating odds because I have survived not only my
AP>  first surgery but also a MRSA infection that was god awful.


          Yup....  :-)



AP>  it looks like the lump is dissappearing... they used a
AP>  type of radiation that kills only that area... and my
AP>  body is dealing with it as it should.


          Wow, that's great news!  In view of your previous difficulties with
conventional surgery I'm glad to hear that there was a reasonable alternative
in this case & that it seems to be working well for you.

          Take care & keep in touch....  :-)
