Thanks Rita - I am going to remain optimistic. That's all I have left to hang on to. It's just so hard to understand that I was walking around in such an advanced stage of cancer and had no symptoms. Not even weight loss. The Stanford Tumor Team was also surprised at my health at this point. It is unusual for someone to be non-symptomatic at this late stage of cancer.


CG to H, 68 yr male, DX 10/27/08 w/BOT, Grade 2, T4/N2/M1 (neck, lung, midsternum) stage 4C/inoperable & incurable at this point as it is considered systemic. Dec 08 - Feb 09 had 7 treatments of chemo (taxol & carboplatin). 9/10/09 DX w/recurrence, MRI on 9/17/09. I STILL FEEL & LOOK GREAT :-)
