Hi Woody. Welcome to OCF. Im another 3 time survivor. My bad years were 2007, 2008 and 2009. Im happy to see another 3 timer here. It gives us all hope. I know things arent the best right now. With lots of patience and therapy things will improve.



Dorety, welcome to OCF. Where in PA are you? Im in the Allentown area, there are several of us in the eastern part of PA. If (and Im saying IF) the cancer has returned then its a good idea to go for a second opinion. I did see your other post under "Recurrance". Please start your own post here under "Introduce Yourself" so that we can get to know you and Woody (original poster) individually. I know waiting can let your mind go crazy with the 'what if's' but it will not change the results or make them come back any sooner. Best of luck tomorrow.
