Michelle,

You will have hard days ahead, but I felt like the time period you are now in was the worst...so much to absorb...so many decisions..so many doctors appts....and the specter of months of treatments and the fear of what lies ahead regarding your husbands recovery. I felt so much better once we had a treatment plan and started moving forward with that.

You have really done your homework and it shows in your posts. Now let us help you thru the oncoming days..everyone of us here has something to offer...sometimes its practical information and a lot of times, its just moral support.

Hang in there...my hubby was also stage IV and he is recovering rapidly and we have good reports so far. There is a storm ahead, but we will walk thru it with you.

Deb
