Bruce, keep the positive attitude, it can do nothing but good because when your mind tells you that you can do something, your body responds!!!!!
My prayers are with you!!! And keep your own prayers active, as God does listen. He doesn't always respond in the way we WANT, only in what is best, though.
keep us updated, and when the whole thing gets you down, as it is prone to do, read FABO and keep a positive attitude. My GF was told she had 6 months to live with Melanoma......that was in 2001, she is alive(thianks to experimental drugs) today, and hoping they find the cure for her particular strain soon so she can get off of the 3 a week chemo treatments she has taken since 2002.
But her attitude is top notch, so keep yours there too, and you will beat this!!!!
