Hi there - I think recurrence is something we all fear... The distant mets is scary but should be treated with the same effort that the first cancer was. Do the one foot in front of the other thing and live for the now. I know it feels a little like his body has betrayed him in some way, but (because I've thought about this a lot) you both need to ask yourselves did I do everything I could? Am I? Part if the reason I went through chemo and rads and had radiation bilaterally was for this very reason. So if the answer is yes then continue to fight do what you can on your end to maximize the effects of the chemo and by trying to stay healthy. Don't live for the cancer - it is a part of your life but not your life so despite cancer being in the back ground - do what you can and what you like. So as I said live in the now - not going to see 50/50 and I don't watch the big c - a little to close to home for me right now! Hugs! Have a good weekend and hoping you get great results next week!
