Joined: May 2006 Posts: 57 | I came online tonight to check the site which I used to do regularly. When we lost Danny Boy, I have to admit that I hid for awhile.
But, I want the new people on the site to know that there are happy endings to all of this. And I know my Danny would want me to share the good news.
My husband should not have been one of the good guys. He was diagnosed with stage III tonsillar cancer with node involvement. Had an upper lobe of one of his lungs removed.....which was benign, but caused so much anguish that it threw him into a full-blown alcohol addiction. After rehab, and miracles not deserved, he is 4 years out and happier, healthier and a better person than he was before diagnosis.
Love to all,
Mandi
