I have been visiting this forum for three weeks now and have found it the most useful resource on this cancer anywhere. I forbid my wife to do any research until after the baby was born last week, then I gave her a printout of Getting Through It Together and referred her to this site.
Thanks so much for the encouragment and thoughts. I read a quote on here recently and it has stuck with me and kept me upbeat as I would like to consider myself a "tuff ole country boy". The quote was to put your big boy britches on and get ready to fight like hell. I'm glad I found this site now instead of later.
