I just have to comment about the quality of this forum. To receieve responses so quickly has been a blessing, and I am so impressed with the caring and knowledge that is so freely shared. If my husband and I can get just a slice of this kind of care out in the medical world, we will be in good hands. I will return here often as his condition becomes clear and real to us. We have two little boys that are also going to need some understanding of what is happening and why Dad has to go to so many Dr. appointments.

I agree that there are demons named tobacco and alcohol. They certainly have reeked havoc with our lives. Why is it that physicians will say, "yes, your cancer probably has something to do with your tobacco use, but we find this cancer in non-users as well." I would appreciate some honesty.
