I just can't imagine a doc being so crude! I have just recently received word of my disease progression, so can understand your need to find positive things to cling to and remain hopeful. This is the place to find all of that. There are so many people at this site that have had recurrences and are successfully treating them. And of course don't forget Christine's story, which is truly remarkable. Hang on to that positive attitude, and when you feel you need it to be reinforced, come to this site and you will receive it. My prayers are with you.
