Full of dread, I hesitated clicking on a thread from one of my favorite posters entitled simply, Cancer. My heart goes out to you. From what I understand, the key these days is to become totally immersed and educated on the topic, to use doctors as consultants, but not just blindly follow their advice. The good news is that we've had 10 years of advancement since Lance beat it. Never-the-less, just like dealing with motorists in traffic, with doctors you have to trust, but verify. I look forward to seeing this thread refreshed some time in the future when you're back to tell us how she beat it.
