    :(

    I'm so sorry to hear this...I don't think there is anything anyone can say.  Praying that you are able to find peace at this time...

    P.S. A lady I cared for had cancer and she lived many years past what they expected her to so I'll be hoping that your time here is more than doctors suggest.  So sorry I can't offer any other words that may help...just hope and prayers your way...

    Damn Rick this stinks !

    I don't think that anyone after what you've been through should be told this.  Basically it stinks !  You have been my friend, and I have followed your path for a long time.  I like P would love to reach out to you and protect you from all of this.  Please feel our embrace and know we are all here still pulling for you.  Katie

    Continuing to hope

    A miracle may find you and change this prognosis.  My heart sank when I read your post.  Your avatar and name always inspired me and if anyone deserves "To Be Golden" it is you.  It saddens me to think that you are not being offered any options.  Since you were told to simply 'give up' and let cancer run its course, have you sought second opinions, explored clinical trials or taken a look at alternative therapies?

    Ron Silver, Thank you for the head's up and link to review.

    I have edited my comment to remove the original link and appreciate the information you provided showing it to be based in quackery.  I will send your review link to a friend who is trying to raise funds for receiving similar treatment in Mexico (dendritic cell vaccine) for prostate cancer.  The clinic in the Bahamas as well as the one in Mexico are very persuasive in their website promotions and it is understandable that cancer patients and their friends & families want to believe in the therapy (mea culpa).  For the treatment to be a sham is the worst kind of wrong.  You have performed a valuable service by posting that link exposing the quacks.

    Don't give up!

    Rick,

    I am praying for a miracle for you. Last July they gave Jim months to live. His latest CT showed it had grown a little but the doctor was amazed at how healthy Jim was. We attribute this to prayer, whey protien and Barley Max powder. The Barleymax powder is loaded with enzymes. Jimhas not been able to get off his feeding tube since treatment so maybe the Osmolite and Jevity with all its' vitamins have helped to. The doctor is totally blown away by this miracle. So keep the faith and I will keep you in my prayers. If you want to try the Barleymax the site is: hacres.com

    God Bless

    So sorry

    for this latest news!  I DO want to agree that doctors are not God!!  They give you their best guess, according to their experience and medical journals they have read, but we're all individuals with different outcomes.  We're all hoping for a miracle for you!  I would offer that maybe there's a trial somewhere you can join, maybe holistic medicine might have some help, please keep fighting!  We care!

    Praying for a miracle

    Rick, I'm very saddened to read this. Are you certain there is not another drug you can throw at this? Praying for a Mia le, and much strength for you and your family.

    No Words..

    Golden,

     

    It's been awhile since I've checked this site and now I read your dx.  So sorry Rick.  I cannot imagine what is going through your mind now that you've been told that.  No words will help get rid of it but they hopefully make you feel a bit better.

     

    You are and will stay in my thoughts.

    HI Rick

    Sorry to hear this Rick, I have thought all along that you would make it and I am not going to change that now. On Laryngectomy Life Christine's husband Larry was given a similar prognosis, that was quite a few years ago and he is still around enjoying his two whiskeys each evening in Wales. Go back to LL and hitch up with Christine for Larry's story, it will, hopefully, give you a lift. Take care my man. Denis

    Never give up....

    Rick,

    First, I'm sorry the tx wasn't successful as was hoped. Second, Never Give Up!

    I know you're tired and it takes a lot of effort just to type this to us...but I know your fighter.

    I will pray that you are granted peace and that a miracle comes your way.

    God Bless,

    ~C

    Class Act

    Rick,

    You’re the Class Act around here and an inspiration and a friend to many.  Agree with the others – keep kicking butt!  Heard too many stories where the docs totally miss their guesstimate time-wise.  Fat lady ain’t singing yet – hope you’re around for a long, long time.

    Positive thoughts and some good mojo being sent your way!

    Greg
