I did a lot of reading, speaking with survivors, seeing doc again, etc.

I think the final straw was speaking with a survivor friend who had a kind of cancer where all he could do for treatment was chemo. His doctor told him if he could live through the horrible chemo, the treatment would work. He lived through it and is now 15 yrs. cancer free. Incredible story!
