Now it is catching up and fast. My Dr screwed up by telling me I didn't need rads or chemo and that he got all of the Cancer. What a screw up he had there. The Dr. I saw last week siad that the one at OSU made a really big mistake by telling me this. He told me that I should have stayed in Wheeling at the CCC there because the Dr was well up on my case. The only thing I have left now is hope. It seems this nasty stuff robbed me of not only a future but of a good woman and all the good things about life. I hope you make out much better than this and go get the other opinions .
