I am so sorry to read that you are going through this again Tony.
You have been through so much already since the positive test for the lymph node in October 2008.
I am not able to answer your questions and will wait until you post again after your visit tomorrow with the medical oncologist.
They should be able to answer your questions and you might get some more here as well.
Love
Gabriele
