She's been getting chemo tx once a week and is still going strong. She's a year and a half from that prognosis. Looking at her, you'd never know she was even sick. They keep finding new stuff everyday. I'm a 4b but was able to handle a very agressive treatment which with God's grace has kept me here. Don't ever give up, stay as positive as you can, no one knows how this is going to turn out. They can only go by statistics and those statistics are changing rapidly right now. Best of luck you you both and I'll incude you in my prayers, Carol
