Brenda, sad to learn that David has been facing recurrence for 4 times within a year. Your message gives me the feeling that you are a really supportive wife and your attitude towards your husband's recurrence is so positive that I am sure those who read your post can learn a lot. One thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is that David's cancer should be a stage one only when diagnosed but how comes it can recur so soon or frequently after treatment? Is there any misdiagnosis or any reasons behind? Just curious. Hope that the chemo can do its job this time and surgery is not necessary.

Karen.
