Thanks Lois,
Oddly enough, and probably because Bill's recovery was so good and fast, the both of us have been OK with the wait following his treatments. It was the calm after the storm. But now, it is "crunch time." We have to find out if all this effort has worked...the moment of truth and I am scared to death. I keep going back to the fact that Bill took the meanest and toughest treatment they had and if it wasn't enough - so be it. But, the emotional part of me is so scared to hear that it wasn't enough.cry
I just hope I can hold it together on the 14th...I find myself very fragile these days...probably an aftermath 6 months of terror this diagnosis has wrought.

Hope Buzz continues to heal..he is so tough and you are too!
Hugs, Deb
