I'm sorry you're dealing with this, it's particularly tough when young kids are involved. Not only do we have enormous fears for ourselves, but for our children.
It's good that you have radiation and surgery to fight with, it is very effective. The positive lymphnode can be hit with the toughest treatment possible. Keep us posted and stay positive. There is no reason to believe that you won't be JUST FINE.
