Hello Vicki,

You have asked some relevent questions we all have this early into the game. Remember you and your husband have to be your own advocates about his treatment. Learn all you can about his treatment plan and ask plenty of questions. Write the questions down ahead of time, you never remember all of them at the doctors visit.

Go to the search engine at the top of the page and you can read alot of good information that may help calm your fears.
You want to throw everything at this the first time, It is a very unforgiving diaease.
Enjoy the good reports. It's a good sign.
Ask any question you can think of and someone with similier treatment will respond. Gary is one of the most knowledgeable posters on this board.

All my Best, Danny Boy
