Dan, the fact that your lymph nodes were not involved is FANTASTIC! As much as you have gone through, you did it in a timely manner so that the cancer did not get chance to spread and that is what we all want. Good for you! Now you have read enough about taking recovery one day or even a few hours at a time, but it is true that there will be days when you see no progress, and others when you shine. Expect that and know that whatever you are feeling, others have been exactly there and come through it. But never forget for a minute that your non-involved lymph nodes is definitely something to celebrate! Joanna
