    Welcome
    Hello Gene,
    Welcome to our wonderful family of csn survivors! William....I can not say enough about you! You are the best. Thanks for the stories about Loretta and her family. Wow! God bless those women. I always enjoy a good story and a smile. Gene...I just wanted to welcome you, and let you know that you are in the right place. I, myself can not help you, but I know someone else here will. I will be praying for you. Keep us updated.I was a caregiver for my dad, who has recently passed on after fighting ec with mets to the liver.

    Your kind words are very helpful. Your mother-inlaw sounds like a great person.
    Every day I learn more and become less confused. I now have a great Dr. who is a prefectionist. Good looking too I was on the table a long time while the mask was made and pictures , x rays took,line up marks made. Glad I have only T1 and its only in one spot. Next week the machine is turned on 5 days for 6 weeks.

    Hi Gene,
    Thanks for the
    Hi Gene,
    Thanks for the update. A great looking, great doctor, and a perfectionist are all great traits! Yes, T1 is a great place to be. Radiation should not be too bad for you. My dad did not have a problem with his. The only thing he complained about was having to keep his arms up over his head for a long period of time. But...the pretty nurse who was there with him made everything go by quickly and smoothly! Best of luck to you. Let us know how you make out.
