My dad is just beginning his tx for the first time around. The emotional roller coaster has been quite a ride. I can't imagine what it must be like to have the stroke and possible recurrence on top of that. That's quite a load, but if you've made it through the other obstacles I'm sure you'll find the strength to make it through this one! I hope that Tuesday's news is great for you and your husband! Have you ever been to Gilda's Club on Rochester Rd.? I haven't been yet, but I heard that the support is outstanding. Good luck on Tuesday. I wish you both the best.
Cheryl Daughter of Lance-- diagnosed 12/26/04 stage IV SCC, neck dissection 2/1/05, tx started 2/23/05, ended 7/05. Doing AWESOME!
