Charm, welcome to the site. Sorry you had to find us, but we will help as much as possible. Where is your husband's secondary tumor located? Is it in the same place as the first or a whole new location? Did he have IMRT rad? How many treatments? Has a biopsy been performed on the secondary site or is it just "suspicious" activity? We can help you more if we have more information. Meanwhile, will pray for comfort for you and your husband and family.


Regards, Kirk Georgia

Hello Charm,

I wish I could say something that would make both you and your husband feel better. Having a reoccurance is something many of us face. It's a real downer. Sending prayers your way and hope there is something they can do for him.

Love, Danny Boy
