Anne-Marie, that's a really good idea to provide something in print rather than verbally. At some point, I think people stop listening, probably because it's too frightening and stressful. This way, they can go back to it when they're ready. I tend to forward helpful posts from here to Gordon, as long as they don't have anything really scary about recurrence or post-treatment side effects. I know he reads them and occasionally asks me questions about them. So, indirectly, he's getting some benefit from me having found this Forum. Anne
