Thanks a lot friends for taking time to help me and coach me on this thing, as I have seen this thing in my dear ones for the first time and very closely
Trying to understand every aspect so that we can do best for him. I am in touch with my some nearby friends who had this type of situation in their family too, but truly said cancer word is like cancer= death, thats the fear we have in our surroundings.
I stay in India currently.
Thanks a lot @colleenyoung @naturegirl5
We are visiting doc this week to understand more on this and mainly further steps, tests will happen to decide if further chemo are needed or not. So hoping last two chemos might result in better situation.

Hello again, @suchita90 Thank you for letting us know that your family-in-law and family will see the doctor this week.
Please consider writing your questions ahead of time that you will ask the doctor. You can then rely on your writing instead of trying to think about what you what to ask. I have learned that written questions and taking notes during my doctor visits help me to focus.
Your father-in-law has a wonderful and caring family. I am hopeful that the doctor and team will give you information to help you to support your father-in-law, your family and yourself.
I wish you peace and blessings,
Helen

There a great book by Dr. Robert Buckman called "Cancer is a word, not a sentence" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/495263.Cancer_Is_A_Word_Not_A_Sentence
With medical advancements and early screening and diagnosis this is becoming more true every day.
