My co-worker is an AA survivor - 12 years. He was treated at Johns Hopkins at Baltimore so there is hope for all of us here.
I just wanted to say hi so I wouldn't feel so alone today.

Hi Jayceechic, Just know that you are not alone we all one big family in this together. This is a great site. Lots of good info, support and comfort here. I as well as many others understand the panic that you must be going through. Mostly its fear of the unknown. I especially hate that this is your second go round with cancer. Please, Don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have. I mean any. Take care of yourself and try to be positive in your thoughts. Rose
