Thank you so very much for the advice and for sharing your experience with the radiation. I am afraid of what might happen to the progress that I have made so far, but I know that I have to do everything I can to stop this from coming back again. Twice is enough for me. I still can't believe that it came back this time. I honestly thought that it was over and done with after my first surgery and radiation.

I am so happy to find people who have been where I have been or where I am going to converse with. It means so much.
