Bonnie, I am so sorry to read your post. You and your husband must be devastated!!! Cancer unfortunately for a small few can and will come back. Have you gone for a second opinion? I dont want to give you false hope but having a second opinion could make a difference. Call a cancer center immediately and insist on an appointment this week. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers. Wishing you both all the best.

Here is a link to the nations best cancer centers.
