Hi Deb. I completely sympathise with your husband. I know that for a while after I finished my tx, I often thought that if this comes back I'm NOT going through that again, and I didn't even face as tough a battle as your husband. But now that I'm 4 years out and life has settled into the "new normal", I know that it was worth it and I would face it again if I had to.


there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
