I know before they found the spots on my lungs they made it sound like surgery was an option, once they said “pallative” it seemed like that option went out the window – I’ll definitely ask again this week to get a better idea! I’ve never heard of Naturopathics before – but you can bet I’ll be researching it as soon as I close this window
And thank you for the book recommendation – I’ve been hunting for something to read that was insightful!
Thank you all so much for your kind replies and prayers! I am hoping this website can help me educate myself on this kind of cancer and the options I could possibly have so that may get another opinion if necessary … I’m told I’m receiving “pallative” care, not curative, and I can’t really be sure if I’m satisfied with that or not, or whether or not I have a choice in being satisfied with it. Mayo was where I went to get a second opinion (after I gone to the local hospital) – and I was told because the tumor in my liver was 17cm and because cancer had spread to my lungs, chemotherapy was all they could do, aside from hoping for the best. My doctor seemed against signing me up for any clinical trials and I got the impression he felt it was too risky of a thing to do because of how advanced my cancer is. They’ve taken good care of me at Mayo, I just don’t want to give up if there’s something more out there
Again, thank you so very much for your responses – I feel like I’ve found a wonderful place to get a bit more control of my situation! Thank you, thank you!
PS – 2kidsejca, I’m also receiving gemzar and cisplatin – I hope your husband is doing well with it! lchase, I wish your daughter the best of luck – cancer has been a hurdle in life I never anticipated (especially at this age) but my family has been the most valuable form of support I could have ever hoped for and I imagine she appreciates you just as much!
