shartwell@ipns.com wrote:My wife, Susan Hartwell, used the moniker "Suze" in posting at the club. Sixty-eight months after her stage-four diagnosis she died last night. In January, facing progress of the disease, she chose regorafenib even though growth of a liver met was the immediate threat. Two weeks later her liver panel showed such damage that she came off regorafenib and went immediately to hospice. She died three weeks from stopping regorafenib.

Susan cherished hanging out on the forum. I thank you all, and those who predeceased Susan, for information and support.

Dear Shartwell

I am very very sorry to hear about the loss of your wife, Susan. She fought long and hard.

I am sorry to ask but it seems that your Susan and my mom have much in common. My mom's liver is filled with cancer and is currently her biggest threat. Still she started regorafenib today. What choice does one have when one does not want to give up and everything else has failed? Would you do Regenofenib again?
