I'm so sorry for your pain. Words are inadequate and I struggle to find anything to say that might bring you comfort. Take care.

I am so sorry mate. That is one serious load of crap to deal with. Christine did her level best to stay with you, two years and all that chemo,it does not seem fair. Now your new diagnosis. I hope it is treatable and you keep on surviving until life can give you a break and you can learn to live and find some happiness again. I just wish I knew the words to help you get there. Hugs ron.

Let's hope this new primary treatment is more gentle than any thing that you have had or witnessed before; things are changing, slowly. And might this new treatment take care of your previous diagnosis. Those who you loved (and love) are right in your heart, to give you strength, to ease your pain.

I'm terribly sorry to hear this news. You have sure been through a lot. I hope the new diagnosis will be treatable, and with as little pain as possible.

Warmest best wishes to you.

A fair bit has happened since my post.
I've had an EBUS biopsy , and got preliminary results within 48 hours. Didn't read so good.
Today I had a Lung Clinic Panel meeting.
I will have a more extensive appointment with my new Oncologist on Easter Monday. The punchline is that I will do 3 months of GemCarbo chemo ( Carboplatin and Gemcitabine) and review after that. I won't need another portocath and GemCarbo is not as harsh as Folfox.
And Sandy has started her chemo and is doing fine.

You have had more than your share of bad luck. It is so unfair! Now it sounds like you have a plan, one that is doable and with less side effects than Folfox or Folfiri. Hang in there and keep up the fight. We are here whenever you need to talk.
