Sounds like they've caught it early which is good. The treatment is tough, but effective in majority of cases. Hang in there and ask all you like on here - I found it so helpful & supportive. Good luck!

Sorry Paul. I thought you might have lost your other thread. The forum software sometimes has glitches and posts disappear. You go back to something you have written and it's not there so you try again somewhere else. I did that very thing myself yesterday
