      Whenever I get freaked out, I go back an read this guy's story:

      http://clinicalresearch.nih.gov/stories_breidenbach.html 

      He had tumor involvement in HALF his liver.  That's really darn big.  It's not so much the treatment that encourages me, because people can and do have amazing responses to a range of treatments.  It's the reminder never to give up – some of us are blessedly lucky and some of us DO beat this thing.

      KatyWI, stage IV NED 4 months and trying very hard not to completely FREAK OUT about scans next week. surprise
