Hi Mary,
I had successful surgery in May of 2015, before starting chemo. Unfortunately in my case, the cancer had already spread to lymph nodes. I've been doing quite well and maintaining fairly good for 27 months. I recently have started experiencing more discomfort in my abdomen and chest. Scans were done earlier this week and I will get results this afternoon. I hope the chemo will shrink your husband's tumor and that he is able to have successful surgery. Keep us posted and best of luck - keep a positive attitude and pray if you are so inclined. I believe both of those things have helped me along my way. Good luck - Kris
