Thanks for the encouraging words I appreciate it. I didnt explain it very well. I am sure they took out a lot of nodes but only 4 had cancer and two of those had the extra capsular spread. So not what I wanted but I will find out next Tuesday what the plan is. I do feel little more prepared after reading everyone's posts. I am tying to stay busy. I went to the movies today and I have a dinner date tonight with my family.

Thanks
Curt
