Thank you all for your positive thoughts. I will take the advice and focus on the here and now. I just want you all to know that it is of great comfort to know there are so many survivors of this illness. I don't know if the doctors don't like to present the situation in the worse case senario or what, but the statistics we were given were pretty low and I can't tell you how many times I've heard the term "extensive neck disease". I will focus on each day, and I will help my husband get through this as so many of you have. God bless you all and thank you Brian for this website. You are all wonderful.
Sincerely,
Virginia
