Douglas- I am so sorry to hear your news. And having an unemotional doctor to deal with at the same time makes me angry. Have you thought of getting a second opinion?

In my view, your doctor can not tell you when you will die anymore today than he will in 3 weeks or three months. No doctor should answer this question. But I do understand your reaction.

As of this post, you have had your first treatment. How did it go? You can still get a second opinion, you know!

Please stay with me here so I can hold your hand and help you through what will be. OK?
