Yes pattyz, the only way to make sense of losing the love of your life is to turn the tragedy into anothers hope. I was introduced to this disease unwittingly twelve years ago. I was a spouse/caregiver to a cancer patient and became intensely interested in it by virtue of working through, enduring and surviving my wife's illness. With the discipline of a college education, the experience helped me to gather knowledge by virtue of voluminous reading and hundreds of hours of past and ongoing personal communication with noted authorities and experts in the field.

Please don't misunderstand Mr. Pawel.

Long ago, when I saw your information on the brain tumor site, it helped bolster my own decision to refuse WBR.

It's been six yrs since the first of five focalized tx's for my brain mets.

And currently (well for three yrs) have been on Xeloda/Temodar to deal with the 6-8 brain mets that live with me.

I've seen your history with your wife, and have been moved. You are a passionate man, who adored his woman.

best wishes to you,
pattyz

I sincerely appreciate your clarification pattyz. Your five "focalized" treatments for brain mets is a testament to your strength and perseverance. The reason for what seems like my information is everywhere is a simple one. For four years, I was responding with information to hundreds of emails every year. I decided to put on the information on the internet instead. Peace and Blessings to your continued zest for life.
