Dr. Starr, recommended the monthly injections to start to slow or stop the growth and spread, I believe I have grade 2 I’m not sure, but I know since it metastasized it is considered stage 4. I also had diarrhea, but since I’ve been getting the shots that has diminished to almost normal now..Good luck on your decision I know how hard it is.. Never lose hope…

Thanks for your reply. Did Dr Starr give you the option of having surgery? I was thinking that surgery was always the first step, but you seem to be doing so well without it. I really don’t want to have the surgery because I am underweight to begin with and I’m scared of low quality of life for the rest of my life. I’m 65 and having a hard time with this decision. I truly hope you continue to do well!
