Hi Matthew. I'm a family man too with a little girl and another on the way

I was diagnosed after surgery on my right foot as well, close to this time last year. I'm blessedly pain free now.

My biggest fear was that I would no longer be able to be the father my child and my wife deserved. The second was that was that I could not find ANY success stories on the internet. I did my best to ignore all the "there is no cure" and "there is only remission" commentary that you will find pretty much everywhere you read.

Bottom line - you caught this really early and there's hope.

I'm typing on my phone right now so I can't type up a summary of the approaches I took, but a lot of it is posted on this site.

Praying for you and your family in this difficult time!
