Dear IVW,
I understand where you are coming from. You try so hard to stay on top of things, but when an expert gives you news like that, it is devastating. CAn I just say though, I think that your onc is dreadful and should be ashamed of themselves for making you feel that way.
My onc does not give up. she is always telling me she has lots of tricks up her sleeve, and I have seen patients in their final weeks, and she still does not give up. There are some people who want to know a prognosis, but I firmly believe that if you are told this, you will sit looking at the calendar, counting down the days.
So, even though it is difficult, don't sit around "waiting" for the mets to reappear. Tell yourself, OK, I've had that little grieving time, now it's time to move forward again, and enjoy every day that I have here. You will regret it if you don't.
Love Lisa
