Not the results I was wanting
Well my friends it has been a very long emotional day for me. The scans show that the tumors in all areas, rectum, liver and lungs have grown and liver and lungs have got several new tumors. The chemo was having now effect so sadly after over four years of almost non stop treatment I'm going to contact hospice tomorrow. It is surreal after all this time now knowing that the end is really close. I've been a real emotional mess having to tell my wonderful kids and family. Considering the original dx was six months and now four years later being able to see both kids get married and the birth of ourgrandbaby I m grateful. I asked the onc based on the results how much time and the first response being no one really knows but with my fighting spirit it could be 6 to 12 months. I'm going to give it my all. Everyone here has been so great. I will continue to pray for everyone. If anyone wants update i will do that. Better get to sleep have to go hospital early tomorrow to havblood look transfusion...3 units. Good night all and bless you all. Jeff

Dear Jeff,
Truelly sorry for the news and allow us to share your sorrow.
Take some time to digest the news and as Craig says, repurpose your life. As far as posting, do what's the best for you, but want you to know we would love to hear from you.
If I may suggest something. Now that the doctors cannot help you, have you considered looking into the Chinese herbs that John has been suggesting? You seems to be in a good spirit and maybe should give that a chance. He says no side effects and it's not really expensive. I would not choose that as the first choice, but I would definitely try if had no other options. And don't forget, believing in miracles at least helps to lift the spirit!
Wish you and your loved ones the strength to make the best of all the time you spend together.

I'm sorry
I'm not on the forum a lot. My wife is the one with cancer. I'm very sorry for your news. I'm happy that you were allowed to enjoy such great moments in your children's lives. God Blessed you with those memories and the ones to come. I would consider you a fortunate man. I know that going through something like this was never in your plans, but you seem to have made the best of a bad situation. May God watch over you and your family.

This hurts to read.
You've always shown such a courageous and cheerful spirit here, Jeff. Despite all that you've been through, you've never complained, always just kept going forward and appreciating the important things in life. I hope you get plenty of time to enjoy your grandbaby, and share some more special moments with your family. We are here for you too, as your "virtual family", no matter what, so if you want to, please always feel free to share whatever aspects, good or bad, of the journey to come. If you need a shoulder to cry on, we are here, and we understand at least some of the pain, as so many of us will join you at some point. We all walk this path together. You're just a few twists and turns ahead of us.
Lots o' love~AA

Oh dear, Jeff, I'm so sorryOh dear, Jeff, I'm so sorry to hear this news. As others have said, enjoy your grandbaby and loving family each minute of every day. But take time to watch the sun rise and fall, listen to the birds, sit by a waterfall and feel the peace of the earth surround you. Somthing that we all should do more often...
All my best, take care,
Cyn

Weeping now
I am so sorry to hear this news. I weep tears for you and your beloved family.
Remember, its not over until the fat lady sings ( I swear I'm going to ask a large lady to sing at my funeral).
Enjoy every moment that you have with your family and yourself.
You said they told you six months and you are four years out from that; well, now they say 6 - 12 months, and who knows you may find yourself moving toward another four years.
I know its got to be hard to think positive at a time like this, but I pray that you can, and then help your body do what it needs to stretch out as much time in comfort that you can.
You have touched out hearts, may we touch yours now and help give you strengh.
Blessings.

Sorry for this news
Please take time and absorb the news then work on a plan that is right for you. It is ok to contact hospice and get that behind you. Then figure out some next steps.
There are many options. You are in shock right now. Please get other opinions.
Keep us posted.
