Thank you for all your heartfelt feedback. An oncologist, Dr Ahmed Zakari, came to speak to us yesterday finally before my mom was released to rehab. He was an angel that gave us a short, frank, direct consult. Though he said the same things as we heard before, he gave us and spelled the names of drugs (Gemzar) , treatments (chemoembolization) trial drug regimens(Moffitt with Gemzar and others added is all) . He gave us NO false hope but provided us with his email if anything changed(eg fever) until our appt in 2 weeks. He told her that any treatment may only give her extra months, but that it was her choice. Told her to get out of rehab quickly, try to eat, eat protein and try to stay active. This info perked my mom up because she was finally given some direction and choices. So today is a better day. Thanks to all. Joanne
