When my husband was first diagnosed I went all over the internet,asking everywhere what to expect. Never did find some one with the exact same statistics. But I did find out that since every body is different,at different stage of health before the cancer,responds to the treatment differently it wouldn't matter if I did find someone with the same story.

\we just plowed in,taking the treatments and doing all we could to keep his immunity up. It is different with everyone.

Has he had chemo or any other treatments yet?
