I am just south of you in MA! Where are you getting your treatments?
It seems like you have a good prognosis. I didn't have rads or chemo and it terrifies me to think of needing it, but SO many others have gotten to the other side and are alive and well to show for it!
Best of luck and please let me know if I can be of any help.
Take care,
Kerri
