I am sooo sorry to read about Johns cancer diagnosis!!! Its always so shocking when reading about a new diagnosis in our old-timer members. Im sure thats an understatement for the shocking news you received out of the blue.
Sounds like he is in very competent hands at a top CCC. As you already know, thats the perfect place for complex cases like Johns. This time around you know the medical jargon and have a general idea of whats ahead.
Please keep us updated as things progress. We're all in your corner. Im wishing you both all the very best with everything!!!
