fyi - they give you the worst possible prognosis. After he took out my prostate, the surgeon told me, even though it was a complete removal ("negative margins") he told me I had a 5% chance of progressive disease. I knew it was closer to 0%, and it never recurred. Your wife may well not have further trouble. It depends on likelihood of further mutations in the cancer cells - it varies widely, but if nothing has happened in a few years it's likely nothing ever will happen

I am continually thankful for you and the way the Lord has blessed you, your wife & your family. You have been given so much influence--and this means you will continually be a target of Satan. Blessings always & my prayers for you will always continue! Happy Thanksgiving!
