Has the other shoe dropped? I am now acutely aware that it is what we all wait for. Bill was diagnosed with BOT on 4/1/11,treated with surgery/RT and on 10/1/11 told he was disease-free. We have celebrated, move on with our lives and held to our faith. For some reason, I have believed he would never recur. Two weeks ago, my husband found a small, firm mass along the jaw line's soft tissue. We saw the Rad Onc doc and are waiting for what may be another round of terror in the face of even worse odds. Today he has the PET. On Monday, our world may change once again. Is there life past recurrence or is this "it"?
