hi paul
so glad to have read your story today...
my hubby was diagnosed last year September with stage 4 HL,and finished treatment in May this year...so in remission,still see the oncologist monthly...and having all the tests in november again...
we watched the new movie "my sisters keeper" yesterday,its about a cancer patient that dies...
was extremely sad,as it hit so close to home...anyway since the movie hubby has been a bit strange n quiet,i asked him if it made him sad...and he said yes...
told him about what u said...theres alot of hope and he is a fighter and a very positive person...
i guess its normal to have your off and sad days...
hope and pray is what gets us through each day!!!
