FUCK!
I hope they found it early enough so that there's a good prognosis for treatment.

From the symptoms he described prior to diagnosis my guess is intermediate, not early. The primary one was he ignored a lump on his neck for ~ 6 months.

Well, that stinks! These days, when strange lumps appear, it is a cause for concern. I have a sore lump in the middle of my palm. If I hit it on something, I have no idea what. It is at least receding. I guess I bruised it somehow.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Just got back from donating plasma. It's been a long day. Thankfully there's an hour left in the Dodgers / Giants game. I need this.

Cooking some tortilla soup. It smells really good. The shredded chicken was rather expensive, but I suppose that's life.

I am eating a strawberry sundae and celebrating the first sale of my book on Amazon Kindle.
Only a million more sales and I can retire.
