Re: From IIIc to IV with liver mets
Dear Redwolf,
I have been reluctant lately to post as my signature doesn't reflect a quick back to NED status for those fighting liver mets.
However, since you have a 14 year old daughter I felt compelled to chime in. When I started this journey my daughter was a freshman in Highschool. Through all of the treatments, I was able to attend all of her functions and continue to work full time. I wanted to provide you encouragement that whether it is a biopsy or some other procedure, you WILL find the strength to do it and will quickly move on and be at your daughter's next school function. My quality of life has been VERY high.
There are so many new protocals in the pipeline that once the biopsy is complete and the Drs. can confirm the details, you will be on the road to a cure. This exact moment is probably the toughest...making decisions etc.
Any questions, feel free to IM me....Lori
