Hi there, has your doctor never once mentioned stem cell transplant?? Where do you live?? Can you get second opinion. You only need one care giver. Even if you had to interview and hire one. I just don’t understand why pumping you full of chemicals is even a thing,

He has openly offered to refer me to a group/doctor for BMT. I just never pursued it til now and realized I'm to receive 2 chemos for "maintenance". BMT is a high risk also as they kill off everything. And I had a friend who was single like me who went through it. She had a challenge while in hospital and I was sitting with her. I had to call a medical friend and fortunately got intervention from ER dept. Don't know whatever happened to the floor doctor, but sure it didn't look good on her records. Point is, I think I've been in denial until now because I've done so well with treatments. Didn't really investigate until lately . I think after Biopsy next week will really know what future holds.
Prayers and blessings your way.
