    • Open Family & Friends of Cancer Patients

      I'm dealing with my husband,he has cancer,it started in janurary,we were told he had head&neck cancer.I went on line to find out what caused this and was really hurt over what caused it.Well, after(32)chemo's and(20something)radiation treatments they said he was cured.I dreamed that he still had cancer and he had to go for a p.e.t scan of the chest area and it's back.We had such a hard time the first go around,that i'm scared to death now that i realize i may lose him.
