Hi Martin, I am so very sorry about your friend's new diagnosis. I will keep him in my prayers and hope he will find some help through the forum, and I'm sure your friendship will give him even greater comfort.

Oh wow! Small world. After college I started working in medical book publishing in editing, copywriting, marketing and advertising, and then worked in magazine publishing in circulation for several years after that. I really enjoyed it and had learned so much. I'm glad your business is doing well, and I wish you the very best with it going forward.

How nice that you are planning to be in the states in October. I am originally from the Philadelphia area and was born in Washington DC. I have lived in various states since I work from home, including Massachusetts for a short time. If you have time, Cape Cod is very nice. I have never been to Maine, but have thought about going there and also to Vermont at some point. You can also go onto the Chamber of Commerce websites for the areas you will be in, and they most likely will have some travel information listed. It's a shame I am not on the east coast anymore, or I would have loved to come up and meet you and your family in person. Who knows, maybe someday I will get to the U.K. I have never been there and would love to explore the many sites and countries of Europe.

Are you by chance listed on LinkedIn or FaceBook? I am on LinkedIn for my business and just use FaceBook for personal stuff with family and friends--not too often, as it's not really my cup of tea as they say. When my website is finished, I will send you the link so you can give me your feedback. I am writing all of the content, and a good friend of mine who is very experienced in the tech field is going to help me get the site on Word Press. It will take some time, as I am busy working most of the time.

I will be thinking of you and am sending lots of positive energy your way for your upcoming appointments and tests. Let me know how it all goes when you get a chance.

Yes, let's definitely keep in touch my friend. Wishing you and your family safe travels during your upcoming adventures.

Cheers! Lee
