Hi Susan. From what you are describing, your husband is being seen at a cancer center. That shows how important it is on going to a place where doctors discuss a patient and their treatment plan. It gives the patient the very best of care.
I had a friend whose cancer was so small it did not light up the PET scan. His biopsy came back with it being in the tongue. Something important to remember is that all it takes is one teeny tiny cell to be missed for the cancer to return later.
It was nice to read you are another person who isnt playing the statistics game. You are so right that people beat the odds all the time around here. Im very fortunate to be one of them.
Best of luck with the future treatment, whatever it may be.
