Christine is so right! My husband had a recurrance during chemo and radiation. He is also fighting one now-a year after his initial surgery. We know so much more now and how to navigate things. The fact that you are hoping the doctors can help you is good. DO NOT GIVE UP. I can't even imagine what you are thinking and I know how horrible uncertainty is but try to stay proactive and engaged in what is going on. That's a great quality that my husband has-he wants to do whatever he can to prolong his life. He doesn't dwell on what's been taken away, just how he can fight this horrible beast. Best wishes to you.
