You know I've replied to your SmartPatients message on this topic. Try not to look at this as "staying on chemo until I die". It's more a case of "staying alive with chemo" until something is found that can maybe get you to NED status... or at least battle your cancer to a stalemate so that you may carry-on.

And yes, I noticed someone mentioned City of Hope up in Duarte. This is within an hour of us. You get an online consult with them... and they invite you out for a clinical trial... we'd be happy to host you for a few days to lower your expenses... pick you up at the airport etc. I know what it is like to need hope. Be well... hang tough.

Hi Gary, bless your heart and thank you for re-phrasing this. Why can't doctors speak in the same manner, or at least soften it up a bit.

Me and my wife will be looking at City of Hope, I know a few people have mentioned this. Right now we are overwhelmed with figuring out what our criteria should even be, so sounds like we need a bit of time to figure this out.

Many thanks for offering all the things. Very kind of you.
