Just last weekend we were in the same situation with my husband and we got good news on Monday! It does happen. My husband just finished TX for a large reoccurance 12/17/10 and recently we thought he was showing several symthoms of the cancer returning. The Dr. said if it is back this soon it would not be a good thing. So with heavy hearts we were preparing for the worst and got the best news.
I remember well the shock last Sept when we got the news the cancer had returned, the extent of the cancer and the needed treatment. But if your news is not good, to live there is no choice but to go forward with the threatments and while it is not a walk in the park you can do it just like so many here have!
Praying and thinking of you this weekend that the time will fly by! PS: We took an overnight trip with friends to a casino and had a fun time - helped to think of something else and pass the time quickly!
