Paul,
When I read through your protocol, I cringed for you, as my husband has just finished one that is very similar. I would imagine you are nearly through with your by now, if not allready done. Congratualtions on making it through what I know has been them ost difficulkt time of your life. Like yoo, my husband is young. He's 36, and we, too, have a child. He is four years old. You are right. You do have everything in the world to live for,adn this battle that you are waging is purposeful and glorious in that purpose. We are lucky in that our children are so young they won't remeber this heinous period of our lives, but will benefit from the renewed outlook that the struggle against cancer has afforded us. I'm not sure my husband is seeing it that way, right about now, but I'm hoping he will in time. Please keep your head up and give yuor wife nad child a huge hug and kiss.
The world is full of love and life, and you are an important part of that.

Steph
