Re: Well, This Blows!
Man, Karen, that truly does stink. I am sorry you are now confronted with that seemingly never ending pressure to decide your fate, so to speak, regarding treatment options. At the end of the day, the decision is always ours, isn't it? The docs advise, but ultimately the final determination is the patient's.
One thing I am supremely confident about is your innate brilliance. I believe you will hit upon the best treatment for the situation. What I can do is pray your choice works and like your other areas of mets your liver will be NED and stay NED!
I hope your battered body heals swiftly and that your comfort level improves appreciably tonight as you rest. I pray tomorrow dawns bright and pain free!
