Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 251 | Have some more good news to post. Have really loved getting some good reports from others lately...helps to balance out some of the sadness.
My husband and I just got back from his 2-year check. Results of all tests look good, doctor thinks he looks good. Doctor is very happy. We are ecstatic!
Warmest wishes to everyone just beginning this journey, in the middle of it, at the end of it... (is there actually ever an end?)
