They have both gone through radiation and chemo, and both are now looking at recurrences. One of them i actually talked to back in march about getting a support group going here. Well with in the few months it came back as stage IV, and the chemo he is on shrunk one tumor, but some more are growing. The other one is a dentist here in town and he was going to help us with our walk. It is so unfair. It makes me think it is just a matter of time. Just needed to vent a little.
