Nova Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I haven't posted for a while, but I think of you all often. Harry was getting ready to try a 5th line of chemo, when the radiation doctor finally told him that further treatment would be of little, or no benefit at all to him. It would have probably landed him in the hospital again, or worse, because he reacts badly to it. Harry asked the "life expectency question", and was told a "likely" 3 to 6 months, with a guess at closer to 6 months. It's been an emotional roller coaster around here lately, needless to say. We have Hospice coming in now. (Harry's choice, not mine). I wanted to thank all of you for always being kind, answering my questions, and sharing my fears. God Bless you all, Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
