I'm so sorry to hear your news. It's a shock to the mind and soul. My heart goes out to you and your husband. We're in CT so I'm not familiar with the Florida centers but I know others on the site live in Florida and I'm sure they'll chime in soon. I just wanted to reach out and say you've come to a good place for answers and support. Ask any questions you have. Chances are, someone else has had them too. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell EC in 2018, did 2.5 years of chemo and got to remission. After nearly 4 years, he had a recurrence but after more chemo and radiation, he is once again in remission. The docs told him when he was first diagnosed to get his affairs in order. They gave him months to a year. He's still here 7 years later! There is always reason for hope, even when it seems impossible. Take care and best of luck to you both

@cometsmom Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. I hope your husband continues to excel with his health. We think we are going to reach out to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville for treatment. I think the worst part is that we don't know at the moment if the liver and lung are also cancer since the colon was not cancer.

@cometsmom I had a doctor say the same thing, if I listened to her I would have lost out on still having a great life, live love pray, its better than wasting your life for some end date.
