Thanks so much everyone! When I woke up this morning, I was still soooo happy...I said a quick "thank you" prayer!I am praying for the the same for all of you! He might come up for a visit...myself & his family are hoping so. He needs to get away from those hurricanes in Florida!LOL Unfortunatley though his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer approx. the same time he was diagnosed last year. She had a double mastectomy last summer & then this past June found another lump under her arm which was recently removed.She is doing better now and it would be so nice of him to visit her!!

Gary, Thanks for the info. I'm sure it doesn't make much of a difference but do you go by start of tx or after it has ended? Or is it after everything including all clear on pet scan? Also after tx, when did you notice that you were starting to put on some weight? It seems like every time I call, Rod is always eating!LOL He is small framed but another 10-12 lbs would be nice!! smile Thanx so much! Maureen
