Re: Cancer in Spinal Fluid - given 6 months
I live in the Netherlands, and here oncs are very, very reluctant to put a timeframe on any kind of cancer. There are so many exceptions, that they just say they don't know. Only when they feel the quality of life issues will far exceed the expected benefit from treatment, will they discuss life expectancy.
As you are not ready to give up, neither should your doc. And if they do, go for second or even third opinions. Hang in there!
Hugs
