My checkup is on 12/07 also. It has been one year for me, also.
I must have been in denial for awhile, because it just came to me yesterday while reading the forum, that my Dr told me this summer that he was pushing my grade up to a T2. That is why he sent me to the BC specialist in Chapel Hill..... I was thinking all this time that it was T1.
This has been like a nightmare.
Good luck to husband John. I will be thinking of him and Elaine.
