The 3rd round was the biggy and also the most involved. I know how you feel about the recurrences but I have not been told they cant fix me. I cant imagine what fear being told that makes you feel, it must be horrible!
I can only say going to the countries top cancer centers is the best thing you can do. Im in PA and know several members who have gone to the Philadelphia CCC. Ive only heard good things from them. Wishing you all the very best with everything you are facing!
