Nate, you and I have also been chatting today. You know what Ive told you. Do NOT give up!!!! Even when things look bad, you never can predict what the future will hold. Try your very best to keep thinking positive! I know how difficult that is, Ive been in your position. Lets hear what the plan your docs come up with on Monday.

There are a couple of good things. Having zero lymph nodes come back positive is a good sign. Just being able to return home on Friday will help you to feel better. I bet you cant wait!

Hang in there!!!
