    i am out on a limb in a sense.

    gambling these therapies will be more effective than the conventional chemo offerings.

    here is hoping. its more than hope, i will will these dam therapies to work, failure is not an option. i am certain determination and effort and taking calculated risks will get me over the line.

    its exciting to be on the path least travelled, only one way to find out. I think i was choosen to push this particular part of the envelope, i have the finance and the dispostion to take these risks without regrets and share them for what they are, simply my unique effort to survive our common challenge.

    of course i pray these therapies combined with metronomic chemo and all the immune stuff offer a better quality and quantity of life, and dare i dream "cure"

    dear marjan,
    words of thanks and gratitude are not enough. I feel cared for and I feel appreciated this is what our community offers us if we are open. its the ultimate measure of strength to admit how vulnerable we are, thats a strange paradox. to offer and accept support is so healthy.

    i felt good waking up this morning, another 12 hour day of infusions looking out on the black forest shrouded in fog. I read your reply and I feel cured and view these treatments as the steps in a physical healing process that also reflected in my state of mind.

    its a dream we all share. thanks again for sharing your dream. shared dreams of cure are incredibly powerful.

    hugs,
    Pete

    ps cure now thats a good 4 letter word if ever there was one!

    I'm glad your doing well. How long is this treatment for? When will you get a scan? I'm glad you get to go home for Christmas, then you have to go back? How is your house doing, anymore hoarder going on? I will be thinking about you hoping everything can lead you to NED.

    thanks for caring sandy
    how long, until i am cured or sane! and the money lasts.

    next scan around 14dec germany.
    also getting free pet and angio ct when back in sydney mid january.

    starting therapies say 1 feb, its flexible, i want to get a round the world fare and see japan, africa and south america on this circumnagivation of the globe.

    I am seeking to be NED and its a treatment goal, but all I want now is peace of mind.

    the family is living without my physical presence but they know I love and care for them. not much has changed in the family home. hoarding is a tough illness. my wife has had space from the cancer and space from me. still not much space in the house, but its beyond my control here in germany. the only space thats been made was by physically removing myself. thats kind of ironic.

    smile its a wonderful day.

    hugs,
    Pete

    whats the point of a cure without love? just my opinion.
    they are both great words. and both have 4 letters and i can spell them. which will make phil happy.
