Folks I have just been diagnosed with bladder cancer so I will not be traveling to the USA this summer. Hopefully the planned clinics will still go ahead with the possibility that Roman Botcharnikov will be available for at least some of them.

I'm really sorry to hear that Alan! What is the prognosis?

Sorry to hear about your recent diagnoses. Hopefully you have access to the best oncology specialists available in your country.

If you for ever reason want to see specialists that we have in Southern California let me know. I'll give you a spare room and get you around. The City of Hope in greater Los Angeles is well known.

Really appreciate the offer - "The city of hope" sounds positive. But I could only take up your offer if you are a zilionaire and can pay the bills -because I certainly cannot afford American health care!!!

As most of you will appreciate - when your doc - with a grim expression, tells that you have the Big C 9 in a rather unfortunate part of your anatomy, the cojones tend to shrink a bit. However I will have surgery next wednesday and according the specialist the prognosis is good - not sure if I will make it to the States as originally planned but would love to do so. Will try to keep the news coming for those who might be interested.

Thanks for the support.
