I think that really really is important,to have the right doc.
Tell you the straight up answers, when I asked mine how long
I had to live, she said we are drs, not God, we can't tell..
I guess what they tell is only "statistics" but lots of experience
can tell too.. but I have heard of (not known personally) many many
people who got dx of 6months to live and lived 6-10 more years.
Maybe even passing from something else.. When the onc told my mother
in law 3-6 mo.. they were right on, she lasted 3 and that was it.
(Pancreatic is a real bad one...)
Yeah, lots of decisions -wow... my friend is hanging in there, the
cancer she said has spread thru her lymph nodes, right now she is feeling
really good, and doesn't want to take chemo, just wants to be able
to do things as long as she can. What an attitude and inspiration
she is to me and us at our church...
The tabloids show photos of Patrick Swayze, oh he's on his death bed...
but he is a fighter... but just heard that Farah Fawcitt passed, my wife
said it goes in three's... Johnny Carson's sidekick, Ed McMahon, then Farah,
now Michael Jackson..
I kinda laughed after she said that... they aren't even connected, nothing
to do with each other... but in the "media" it came to us in three...
I continue to pray for you and your wife and mom-in-law...
