Hi Swanky,
I have 4 kids too, 14, 12, 10 and 8. My DX info is in my signature, and the speedy recurrence to my lymph nodes is similar to yours. At the time, my doctors agreed that I was stage IIIc but I got an upgrade halfway through chemo when they found some spots in my lungs. I wish the airlines were so quick to upgrade!
I was glad to be guided to this board by a friend in a yahoo group and find support here.
I think I managed to get my picture on the side by adding it as an avatar.
I love the brandname of your new pills and think it is very appropriate.
Keep kicking major you know what!
Best,
