Tony, I am very sorry to read of your recurrance. Cancer is so unfair!!!! While some sail thru treatment so easily, others struggle and even worse many dont get thru it at all.

Im also sorry that I dont have any advice to help you with. Ive gone thru this 3 times and wish I could tell you it gets easier. Although you are now much smarter about cancer and can understand all the medical jargon better, it still stinks!!!

Sounds like your decision to stop working was a smart one. Much better to focus on your health right now.

Wishing you all the best!

Christine
