Hi Marty,

Of course you are going to be fine but thanks for letting us know.  Also, if you would like to talk to a second doctor at any point (one who is normal and very down-to-earth) please feel free to contact  my mother (a doctor of internal medicine at Montefiore Hospital in NY with over 30 years of experience) -- I would be glad to put you in touch with her.  Please also (maybe Kristine if Marty is not up to it) keep in touch with us and let us know how you are doing.  Perhaps if you have chemo you will get to try some very good medicinal cannabis for nausea (I'm sure Charley can help you there...) -- just looking on the bright side of that...

Much love,

Aili

Subject: Great Seeing You

Wanted to say it was great seeing everyone last night. Kathy, thanks for arranging. 
I also wanted you guys to hear this from me. 
I am going in for surgery next week. I found out on the 23rd that I have a tumor in my colon that the Doctors think is cancer. Luckily, they have caught it early and it hasn't spread. They will remove the tumor and if it does in fact turn out to be cancer I will have some chemo for about six months.I am going to be fine.
I didn't bring it up at dinner because I didn't want it to be the only thing people talked about. But I did want you to know because if the situation was reversed I would think it was odd that we were together and you never mentioned it.
Anyway, again, the prognosis is good and I will be fine. 
Happy New Year and we will see everyone soon. 
Take care, 
Marty
