As a cancer survivor myself (cervical cancer forty years ago and thyroid cancer two years ago), you have me in your corner. Rachel is correct--fighters come back a higher percentage of the time.

After my second surgery for breast cancer, I can't tell you the relief I felt when the surgeon told me my lymph nodes were clear. I had DCIS AND an aggressive, invasive carcinoma of the breast. Thanks to a screening mammogram, it was caught in time. But I still had to undergo chemo and radiation. Trust me, Sunny is right. Sometimes a good bitch fit is just what the doctor ordered. Mad is better than sad. ;-) Unfortunately, there will be people in your life who'll walk away in your time of need because they won't understand. Or, they won't have it in them to be there for the dark times as well as the good times. God bless you and Calvin. And have an awesome, thankful, praise-worthy Thanksgiving!Lilly Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085355337721818824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-77298148296272166822011-11-12T19:59:08.502-05:002011-11-12T19:59:08.502-05:00I'm checking in after a great afternoon of foo...I'm checking in after a great afternoon of football.

They got it all and it won't spread, though there's a chance another might crop up one day. I don't care how 'small' the circumstances seem, that word is always glaringly huge and scary.
