      Sorry about your and your wive's problems. Our mother may start receiving chemotherapy and radiations soon. She was operated for a lump in the left breast. I may apply for joining the French Foreign Legion in a month or so or may join the US military. Depends if I get a good job in Pakistan or I have to immigrate to the West! I wish a great day for you!
