You'll fly right through this, Jim. I really believe prayers and positive thoughts do make a difference. And not only are you going to one of the best places in this part of the country to have this done, you'll also be going in there with more people thinking of you that 95 percent of people in the same situation.

Jim, I know you have a great fighting spirit, and with all the prayers you are receiving from people on this board, I am 100% sure you will soon be back as my trusty copilot, heading out on the road in pursuit of good food, good racing and reliving old racing memories.

Years from now you'll look back at Tuesday, June 14, 2016, and remember how the folks at the IU Health Center really came through in the clutch for you, Jim. No one likes going into the hospital to be worked on, so your concerns are right in the wheelhouse with the average joe.

We'll be thinking of you up the Michigan way here as we all go down the path of life. It's a big path. There is a lot of room left for you on it.

As the Aussies say, "Eyes forward, mate".

Jim,
I'm in room 28 in 3-East in the Simon Cancer Bldg. I do chemo till 1 pm so it's best to visit around 3-7 pm if possible. I have a chemo session in the late evening as well. God speed, fellow Hoosier!

I met you for the first time last October at the 'burg. It was hard to find a more upbeat person in the house.

Stay strong my friend. You can be sure your fellow race fans in the South East Indiana area are sending prayers your way.

Jim, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you but I wish you the best. Quickly, I just want to relay a small story. 2 of my best friends have been battling it for years now and I've seen them at points where they were so beat down I am amazed they kept fighting but they did and still do. Well my point is don't give up cause one of them is still buckling up in his modified and the other retired and bought a motor home, and while it's still hard at times, winning the battles along the way have been worth it. God bless you and get well!

Jim,I will be sending prayers for you Daily!I met you last Summer at Lincoln Park when I was with Danny B. and John H.,and new instantly that I liked you as a fine person,so hang in there and I hope to see you at a track soon!

Jim, you are going to the right place. The IU medical center for cancer is as good as it gets. The people are really caring and on you side all the way. A positive attitude is so easy to come by there. You only need to ask God for his blessings and keep the faith. So easy. How do I know? I was there for the cancer surgery 2 months ago. It was done by a robot. I am good and very thankful. And I went home that nite. Keep the faith with God and it is a great place. Be very thankful.
And our Church will be praying for you this morning.
