Hello All!
I wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time out to respond to my posting with all your words of encouragement. My husband's attitude about his cancer at this time is in tune with what most of you are saying. He believes that this is "just one more thing that I could die from but not necessarily what I will die from"... he was referring to other things like getting a heart attack or getting into a car accident etc.
I need to learn, and perhaps will over time, that he and all of you are right about the statistics and what they do (and mainly don't) mean.
Thanks again for your time and encouragement!!
