Lisa,

I love your statement regarding your husband "he is ready for battle". Awesome attitude and exactly the mindset you both need to be in to face this.

In battle, victory normally goes to the side that has the best battle plan. Listen to the resounding advice here and get that second opinion at MDA if only for due dillegence. It may just be the key to his survival.

I relate to your husband in the fact that I felt fine and was in great shape before diagnosed. I think my overall health was the key to making it through the ordeal.

Good luck

Eric
