Welcome Dave. You are a fighter and you will be with your wife someday. Just not soon. You CAN and WILL get through this and the folks here (and myself) will help you. I am at the halfway mark of 7 weeks of radiation and started chemo today. I might have quit by now if not for the people here at OCF. Stick around and give yourself the best possible chance. It sounds like if this is cancer that you have gotten lucky and discovered it early before it bumps out in your lymph nodes. Stay connected here Dave. It's VERY importand and we CAN help you. God bless. Will Zinn
