It's horrible you have to go through so much. However, the plus is that there is HOPE. They could have said go home there is nothing more we can do. Some radiation survivors have that happen, unfortunately. I sincerely hope they can avoid number three all together, as well. But thankfully they have a plan of action. Best of luck, it sounds like you are in good hands.
