Just wanted to thank all that replied. So nice to know that you are all out there for me.
To Marie, yes, I do have an awesome companion who has been through this the whole time. (he even asked me to marry him after my treatment was all done)!! That's a whole other issue. I also have 2 sons, and a great daughter in-law, and brothers and a sister. The support was so overwhelming that my head still spins from all the love and care that I have been blessed with.
To David cpa, I don't understand what you meant by BT. I did have one positve node on the right side of my neck. I really have a story to tell, so I'm going to start another post and if anyone is interested, you can read how this was found. Maybe my story is normal, maybe not. I just feel so blessed by the way things happened. Thanks again for the reply...
