Re: MET devastation & desperate for advice
Forher, I said before how I admire you, and all the partners, who have to step up and navigate a whole new world amid fear and uncertainty
It seems we do have to be our own advocates and do much research ourselves
Does your treatment facility have any really activist social workers or patient advocates who might do research for you and explore options? Sometimes you have to be the squeaky wheel
Have you called American Cancer Society? They might have suggestions
Just never give up hope. Always keep the faith
