Danielle,
The stories here have been more depressing lately than usual..maybe just a run of bad luck. However most of us here endured our treatment quite well and, with a few alterations in lifestyle, have resumed working and getting on with life.

I cannot eat like I used to, but I feel well, look good and have gained back the weight that I lost and just came out clean on my CT scan and Xray.
Tell your mom that there is a lot of room for hope.

Best wishes,
Danny G.
