Wow, 4 cancers in one year? You certainly have been through a lot and seem to be doing well, which is great. I am sorry to hear youve been through so much though. I apologize for so many questions, but had you had radiation prior to that for the 3 previous cancers? Were the skin metastases removed during surgery? Have you been okay since? I just had a conversation with the radiation oncologists and they are hopeful that chemo will help....i sure hope so!!!

I am so frustrated because his CT scan showed no cancer but now this....I thought we were in the clear.
