    Sorry to hear of your problem...
    I had base-of-tongue cancer in 2010 and was told 2 weeks to live- my only hope was the Mayo Clinic and they said 15% chance of surviving the operation... that was 8 years ago and now I have inoperable prostate cancer so I contacted Mayo again... they are proposing hormone/proton beam radiation- might turn me into a girly-man but its better than the alternative...

    I highly recommend the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix if you can arrange it. The Cancer Society can provide housing for out-of-town treatment (they put us up at a golf resort for several weeks last time)
    Good Luck

    Shooting in the 10 ring gets tougher as you age.
    I dropped out of competition when I started all of the testing for this.
    I know my eye sight is worse now.
    Years ago I went to the "dark side" and tried a "black gun" and my scores went way up, just not enough to leg.
    Now CMP allows optics up to "4X" on a Service Rifle in Leg matches.
    It is now time to go to the "dark side" of the "dark side" and build a rifle with optics.

    I found a Nikon M223 in the Bargain Cave. I intend to pick up a stripped lower today and my "care package" from White Oak arrives Monday with the rest.
