He is 72. This is a nightmare, as you know Vera. I’m so sorry you have to take this route. Do you think
the chemo is the wrong cocktail for you? How do we even access that information. I hope you have good support-we do from friends and family but we have yet to find support from the medical community that profits from his treatments (actually lack thereof)
I’m really angry and we will make some more informed decisions this week by speaking with different doctors.

Hi Barbara,
Yes dealing with the medical community is like hitting the wall. Instead of offering support, you get statistics and other meaningless words thrown up at one. Being told everyone is different and not really being verbally able to justfiy / explain what and why things are being done in the treatment is the opposite of healing help I find. Getting information to make informed decisions is extemely hard. Haven't millions of us older folks gone through these cancer treatments and no one knows anything still? anti healing is not great at all. Good luck. Let me know if you get anywhere with your decisions.
