I've been asked to inform everyone as to James' recent absence. You may recall he mentioned having a bladder biopsy done a few weeks ago. A recent MRI has revealed a larger situation, in his words:
"It's a cancer called pseudomyxoma peritonei which starts in the appendix and spreads through the abdomen. Very rare, only two people in a million get it."
To which his comment to me was so typical James...
"Trust me to be difficult!"
As you might expect from James, he is very positive and upbeat about things. In 3 weeks he'll be undergoing a 14 hour procedure to resolve the situation followed by a chemo rinse of the abdomen to ensure no remnants are left behind. Obviously he'll be recovering for a while but I know all of us here will be sending our best thoughts and prayers along with the healing vibes for one of VHT's most enjoyable posters to have a full recovery and return to the garage for more vintage Honda adventures. As he put it:
"...but 'I'll be back' as a well known actor said on more than one occasion!"
