@popkorhn- I hear you, I really do. Small cell cancers are very potent and are difficult to treat. I am happy to hear that Pop is still this active! Wow! He's feisty! This is a great great sign for a positive outlook on life. All engines at full blast! Please, please be careful about seeking an alternative treatments outside of conventional medicine. I agree that a second opinion would be the next step- but aside from that I completely understand. I also love my husband enough that if he were ill would try to go the ends of the earth to maybe find a cure. I hope that you are getting enough good sleep. How are you holding up?
