Not a quitter, no way! Just a man wanting to exit decently. But too early to think about exiting, as other Stage 4 guys have confirmed above.

They have suggested a medication for reboning but it comes with some issues that could effect the jaw bone I told them I did not want anymore meds at this point.

mark, me too. I say no more! I'll figure out my nausea, poor appetite, etc, myself. I tell them that if I can learn the new me from all the physiological changes in me that I prefer that. At least I want to try. If they suggested zometa, it is a 15 minute infusion once a month. It is nothing. Can be done before or after other infusions. So you really don't notice anything.

Good for you Mark

Those meds for "reboning" as you call it are really bad news.  You can read the horror stories of these meds if you search the warnings and side effects.  Part of my career I worked as a Hyperbaric Tech and some of the patients we treated suffered from the very effect you mention. Horrible and very sad.  I actually refer to those meds as "deboning".  Why these pharmaceuticals exist is beyond me.

Mark, you are in my thoughts

It saddens me to hear what you have and are going thru. We all so very much would love to just hear that everyone is doing fine!  I have trouble finding words to say... But I so much wanted just to say I feel for you and have you in my thoughts.
