I know this is a strange feeling but I'm almost afraid to hope. My husband seems to be so much better all of a sudden even with the second round of Erbitux on board. I feel like I'm being foolish to believe that things might be turning around. God knows my husband deserves a break. He has been so strong through the surgeries, treatment and knowledge of mets to the lung. Has anyone else been afraid to be happy-if only for a little while? Sue
