My husband had nearly 60 positive nodes in his armpit and up into his neck back in '98. I know what you mean about feeling devastated. From what we read, and the vibes we got from doctors, we didn't think there was much hope. But amazingly enough, he has passed the 11-year mark being NED. I even lost track and I think I posted a couple of months ago that it was 10 years, and later realized that another year had gone by. So it doesn't consume our lives any more, though we do continue to be very grateful and realize how blessed we are. Just hope this can give you some encouragement to not give up. It is far from hopeless!
