Nocam,

Thank you so much for the kind words. I think one of the great benefits of this site is the ability to talk with others who have been in our shoes. I very much remember getting the news you just received. Although my results showed the radiation to be partially successful I still had residual disease. In a word, I was "Crushed". But I found a way forward and am still here to talk about it. I am comforted in the knowledge that you still have a curative path open to you.

Best of Luck my friend.
