Minnie,

I am so sorry to hear your news, but I have no doubt that you will win this battle, too. I think that you are wise to get that second opinion. Even get a third. You know so much more than before and that knowledge will help you a great deal.

It is so typical of you to feel sorry for your husband. You have a great family and their support and love and the love of everyone on this board, will go a long way as you fight and beat this horrible disease in round two.
