Oh, Ruth! What a privilege to 'know' someone like you! Your plate is more than full, but your faith and your family will pull you through all of this.

I have to agree with the chemo suggestion. While it will be radiation that helps the most, our doctors gently 'pushed' the chemo with the idea that it could be effective in killing any cells that may have escaped from the local area.

We'll never know if that happened, but at this point, Tom is doing fine and enjoying clear scans.

I think I'd have to say chemo 'can't hurt' in this situation.
We will add you and your family to our prayer list. Tell your mom about this board - it might help her a lot!
