Dear Petey,
If this was going to happen, boy were you in the right place at the right time. Markus is absolutely right, you want to win the whole war, not just the battle. I wish I could have gotten that through my Aunt's stubborn head. From everything I've read for the last four long years, chemo plus radiation is more effective at obliterating this thing.
You can do this. YOU CAN DO THIS! You're Petey!
And you've got God, good doctors and everyone here on your side. You can do this!
Hugs,
Lisa
