I just want you to know that I am praying for both Diane and you. I know this is a terrible thing to have to go through and I truly wish it wasn't happening. Diane is blessed to have such a devoted husband as yourself. May the rest of her life be peaceful and without pain. I am so sorry she is going through this!!!

Dearest Diane and Bimmer....I feel like I know YOU, you are my neighbors, my friends, my church, my co-workers, my family....my thoughts and prayers and energy are with you...my heart is hurting for you....love is yours, surrounding you, blessing you, holding you close.....

Hang in there and keep looking for different chemos, surgery or treatments. I'm in the same boat, everyday I search for anything new I can try, I have another ct scan Wednesday after I'm going in search of somewhere that does RFA and see if I can get qualified to do it. Have you guys looked into RFA? I thought I had read in another post that Diane was close to Johns Hopkins, I know they do it there.
-
I assume that RFA is radio frequency ablation?
Although she does have large mets on her liver, she also has mets in her left femur, lungs, lymph node chain and in her neck.
Removing the mets on her liver would be like flicking the tip off an iceberg...99% of it would remain...

Bimmer,
You are correct. This disease is devastating, corruptable and I, as one who knows, am sick of lies, lies, and more stupid lies.
pissed off today...as usual.
love you and Diane. Your emotional distress makes me feel so mad, sad and aggitated; how must the doctors feel when they face a disease incapable of a realistic cure?
Hope Diane and yourself find something to at least help the frustration and pain.
So sorry for your despair and inability to find anything or anyone to cure the disease. I don't know what i FEEL, as one who is facing the same dilemma. Reality, truth, and knowledge are the things I count on, at the same time, hope.

Bimmer.......Indi........
I'm so sorry....I wish with all my soul there was something I could do to help you.
I can't though. I can only let you know that I am sorry for you and that you are in my constant thoughts. Really. It seems that my cancer and everybody else's is in my constant thought with only little bits of other pieces of other thoughts in between.
I know that is not right....I know "the power of positive thinking" ...well, at least I've heard of it but sometimes....it's all to much for me. It overtakes all my other thoughts.
At least lately it does......since my 'lil sis was dx, sis my big sis was dx, since my dad was dx, (and since passed) since I was dx..... Sometimes, it's not there...and maybe when my hair comes back and if I don't get it again right away....maybe I'll go days without thinking about it. I hope so.
I wish I had something better to say.
Sincerely,
Traci

Bimmer,
I'm praying really really hard for you and Diane. Sorry I have not been on the forum much lately and don't know what they are currently doing for Diane. I hope Diane is not physically in pain or in great discomfort. In fact, my oncologist did tell me that sometimes they do procedures like RFA (as suggested by stage4) for palliative reasons. So if the large liver tumor is the biggest problem causing pain or discomfort, they may do RFA.
Anyway, I'm sending prayers, good thoughts, good wishes, hugs for you, Diane and everyone else on this forum who are struggling with their treatments or finding treatments.
