Denise,

Start paying attention to the signature lines from posters on this board. Many are 5 year survivors and beyond just like my hubby who had a pretty dire diagnosis and is here today alive and doing great. We all just stick around to give encouragement and information to people like you.

None of us will tell you that treatment will be easy but we all agree that it was the right decision.

Hoping for the best for you,
