Hermiracles - what cute little ones! I just want to say the same thing the other ladies have touched on. First, your doctor has no way on knowing how long you have left, you have tons of tx options to go thru before he can throw up his hands and give up. Kick him in the ass for me and then go find a new onc. Secondly, get genetic testing done, if you are BRCA 1 or 2 positive you will be eligible for the PARP clinical trial. In fact there are so many clinical trials out there that are adding even more tx options...lace up those cancer ass kicking boots and ring the bell. Ding. Ding. Fight is on.
Hugs,
Leea
