He is stage 4 and the decision to do chemo will totally have to be up to him. As the surgeon put it to me he will need to choose the quantity of life or quality of life. So it wasn't good news at all. He should be released from the hospital
on Saturday. Just wanted to come and give an update
Glad you trust us with the update so we know how to pray,just to remind you of my situation, You know how long I have been posting here since having cancer I first had breast cancer, which spread to my bones then spread to my brain followed by nodules on the lungs. At this time they offered me hospice or chemo I chose chemo, I saw my oncologist this week and he was quite pleased to say the chemo is working I don't tell you this to be bragging but may give you a little hope, I am stage 4 too Don'g give up your trust in the Great Physician I hope you have a good prayer team in place, I will be praying for you too ,My experience may not be your husbands just sharing so you can see what mat happen you never know with this disease.
