So sorry you are in the stage four club. Sounds like your onc has plenty of options for treatment. I have been through Folfox, Folfiri, Xeloda+nintendanib trial and am now on a trial for Strivarga to test what is the correct dosage to start and also to test a hand cream for the hanf/foot side effect...

Yes, what is with this weather?? Last year, in November, Buffalo got pounded with the infamous "Wall of snow" this year we are expecting 60 degree weather this weekend. Glad to see the weather is improving for you.
