My kids are older than yours, although it was one heck of a summer. My husband is doing great now. He was diagnosed with stage 4 BOT cancer on May 17th. (My kids were 12 and 13 at the time) When he was diagnosed, he was feeling fabulous and his only symptom was a painless lymph node.

Treatment was a bear! But, the important thing is he is doing better now and life has slowly returned to normal. Feel free to pm or email any questions you might have.
