    Beautiful

    You have a real talent with words. That is truly beautiful.

    We're allowed our dark moments, they are just a natural part of the journey, we just can't sink too deeply into them. 

    I know that many can't handle the sadness here on the forum, these past few weeks, with such loss, are an example, but for me, the strength, even of those who have passed, lifts my spirit and helps me walk the path. 

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful words, and for your strength. 

    I will continue to pray that things will move forward and you will tame the beast.

    you nailed it

    I like all three versions.  I experienced my own feelings in all of them, and was very moved.

     

    Good luck with your treatment options. Feel free to post more poetry, dark or cheery Smile, that describes your experience and this wretched disease.

    best

    second opinion needed

    Phil - What about going to Dr. Lin in Seattle or someone like him?  Janderson1964 went and saw him recently.  Dr. Lin looked at everything, including tumor tissue, and recommended a course of action for Jeff based on his cancer.  If you can afford it, that's what I would do and what I plan to do soon.

    I wish you all the best, it sucks when you have a recurrance so quickly.  I loved the poem, all the versions.  It is a really good depiction of what we go through sometimes.  Hope you find the answers and get the right treatment.  Traci

    I don't have real input

    I don't have real input because I haven't gone through what you're going through.  My doctor at Sloan did my chemo first and then the surgery because she said "that's the latest based on research" but really it's all a guessing game, my other doctor was going with no chemo after the cancer came back so quickly.  I knew that was wrong so I went to Sloan.  They don't know either.  If she was so confident, she would have told me to take my port out right away, not leave it in for 18 months.  Keep on keeping on Phil, you have weddings to attend and lawns to mow (thanks for that laugh).  Cancer can suck it!  We're with you!!!
