Judy - How difficult it must have been for your brother and his family to get the worrisome news after all he's been through but I certainly agree with Colleen that it's better to wait for more definitive information before thinking the worst. I think the hardest time to cope with is that "in between time" when you don't know for sure what is really happening and you're just kind of waiting to start fighting whatever it is. It is possible, too, you may be right in what you told John. In my son's case, the CT scan showed a possible cancer cell on his lymph node but when they did the surgery, and tested the tissue they found that there was no cancer cell in the lymph node. I certainly hope that it is a positive outcome for John. Let us know what happens.
