goodmorning Daisy,
I know that things seem bleak but statisics mean nothing. all of us are unique, listen to Erik's advice, I have not been a survior all that long, in fact only about a month, but I had cancer of the right tonsil that had spread to a lymph node in my neck, I have completed radiation and chemo and had surgery, and I have already gotten a good pathology report. I know that it is hard to comprehend with your husband being so young, I am only 48 by the way, but you must remember that your husband cannot give up and must try all available treatments, remember this daisy, my ex wife who is a 16 year cancer survior was constatly telling me that today more people live from cancer today than die from it and there are more successful treatments today than yesterday, just don't let your husband quit, there is always hope and the power of positive thinking and attitude can work wonders, does that mean that you should be cavalier and not scared, no not at all, I was scared out of my wits and still am from time to time but keep everything in perspective and aggressivly start this fight against this dreaded disease.
always lenny
