Three week ago I was in Hopkins to do a routine testing and CT scan for the upcoming clinical trial. They found my liver function close to failure, my billirubins is 10 times higher and I was running fever. I was hospitalized for three days. They cannot find any infections; the bile duct is not clogged. Their conclusion is my liver function is so low; it will do more harm than good to continue the treatment. So we agree to call in the hospice service.

You all have been part of my family. I will always remember your encouraging words and helpful advices. Don’t worry about me. I know where I am going and it is a much better place.

I wish you all the best.

    @Peter: Be strong!!! I really hope you will not suffer!! And I will tell my Mom to look for you and welcome you! She's a real good cook, and very very VERY giving! Full of love! I wish you the best...we will ALL miss you and you have changed the lives of many others, so you'll not "go away"! You'll be in forever memory of those people! And you'll be in an awesome place...a much better place than this world. We, humans, just cannot imagine better as we only experienced this one so far...but like you said, it will be a much better place! Take care Hsi-Min!!! I'll think of you often!

    Grace and Dignity
    Wow, Peter

    As everyone has already said, you have such a strong resolve and good attitude about what you are facing - you sure are teaching me how to handle things with your courage and wisdom.

    I wish things were different, you have been so strong and a good advocate for clinical trials and such - always very positive about what you were trying to do and very enlightening to all of us on what you were trying to teach us.

    I hope the next stop for you is a much better place - you are one who deserves it:)

    -Craig

You are entering with such a wonderful and graceful attitude that I hope to have when my time comes. We will see you on the other side Peter. Godspeed and God bless.

    Praying for your "journey"
    Peter,

    You are the most gracious and peaceful person. I have loved reading your posts and have prayed that you would have great success with a clinical trial. I'm so sorry to read that things are not going that way.

    I am so glad you shared your news with us, and I hope that you can feel the love coming from all of us. You are a brave soul, and I pray the journey will be easy for you. Yes, you are going to a better place, and you will be WELL there.

    I do not know what to say at a time like this, only that I have walked this journey not too long ago with my sister. It just breaks my heart to read your post. You have been so kind in pointing me to clinical trials and sharing your experience. Reading your postings about your latest trial gave me much hope for you, that reading this latest post just makes me cry.
    I do know that my sister's liver also failed her. She also had blockages in her kidneys and bile ducts. The cancer took over and she was in much pain in the end but man she fought hard.
    I pray for you on this journey and know that you have been a very kind and supportive man. Thank you for that. If you need to talk, please I am here.
