      Sweet Nancy,

      Don't worry about crying to me, I sooo know how you feel. Though the reports for my hubby came back with no node envolvement, I had many of the same feelings you  are experiencing. I cudn't imagine life without my hubby Lambert. Ah yes, cried so often. We went from his open heart surgery, quite unexpected, to gout in his elbow, hand and foot to melanoma, in the space of 2 months. We are going to the derm Wed. There are 3 more spots i want checked out. Such a feeling of frusration and helplessness. As we often say, the golden years are such fun.

      I remain here an reading the posts, have learned a lot, and don't feel we can consider he is totally  cancer free, it's looking over our shoulder. This site is wonderful, much like a Webmd breast cancer site I was a part of when my daughter had breast cancer at  27, passed away at 33. I still am in contact with some of the women I met and shared that journey with,   10 years later!

      Anyway, if you need to cry, scream share, don't hesitate. Hugs, Jean

      Wow, sounds like the pseudo gout my h usband experienced recently after his open heart surgery! He was on crutches it was so bad, moved from the ankle, to the hand and elbow and back again. It was really miserable, wonder if this could be somewhat the same reaction. Jean
