Hi, Sammie, I agree with JoAnne, there is always room for hope - if not for a cure, then at least for a way to control the growth of the cancer. In our case, John survived his recurrance for 15 months and during those months we were able to tend to alot of important things we had neglected-estate planning, living wills, powers of attorney, a few trips, etc. Plus, we spent every minute we could together. The outcome was not what we were hoping for, but I am so grateful for the time we had. Wishing much strength to both of you. Amy in the Ozarks
