Sandra, my husband is an oncologist (well, was, he just retired recently) and the treatments have come such a long way in the 26 years he was in practice. Case in point...my son's father-in-law was diagnosed right after we met him for the first time, before my son and his daughter were married. My husband thought that he might have 5 years. He has had a bone marrow transplant, chemo and he is thriving now, after ten years. Many, many people are alive for many more years than before. It used to be one of the most difficult to cure, but the new drugs and treatment protocols are far superior now. Go to an oncologist that is recommended by your family doctor, and get a second opinion if you wish.

Thinking of you and praying for you and for your DH's successful treatment. There will be some ups and downs during the therapy but keep the positive in mind and he will do well. The new drugs out there are outstanding and really have extended the life expectancy for a very long time. Good luck and keep us posted, please.

Hugs and more hugs!
