				Asking for a little T & P
			 
			 
			
		
		
		Wife has cancer surgery at UCONN Hartford today. 
Asking for a little thought and prayers for Paulette Caron-Andreas, my wife, who has been cancer free for 28 years, now facing a second round of challenges. 
 
May all things turn out for the best. 
 
Bill

		 Things came out very positive, large mass that was that possibly cancerous turned out to be large scar and hematoma mass that was removed and frozen sectioned as NON_CANCER. Reconstructive activities that were required completed without incident. 
 
Wife is home resting and is recovering. May not be fishing for a few weeks but she'll be there by the end of August. 
 
Thanks to all for thought and prayers, As well all know any little does help.
