Thanks for sharing your story, Danny. And congratulations on beating this disease. That gives us both hope. Fear is definitely the enemy, and we're really working on getting the right attitude back. I'm getting a lot closer with the support I find here and through our friends. I think Jerry is starting to come around. He resorted to Xanax yesterday and last night to calm down. He was even talking about trying an antidepressant. He hadn't felt he needed it all the months before this, but just this bit of unverified 'news' really put him over the edge. We're going for his cat scan this morning, but he can't get the biopsy until Tuesday. It still seems strange that it could be back so soon when they got all the cancer (T1) and clean margins in just Feb, gave him an extra boost of radiation in that area with the IMRT treatment which just ended on May 9th. Maybe it is just an unhealed spot? We're hoping, but if not, I see now that it can still be treated successfully.
