Welcome blc6571,
My father was diagnosed a little over a year ago. He lives in Indiana and had surgery, chemo and radiation treatments there as well. Where are you located in Indiana? You are wise to search out a support group and in my opinion, you have found the best for this type of cancer. Keep posting and let us know how you and your husband are doing. I don't know what I would have done without the individuals and the wealth of information on this site. I am more the happy to return the favor...........Kim
