2nd opinion no better than the first

Hello my friends and family,

Well we went up to another doctor to get a second opinion and to discuss some treatment options. Nothing much is different. The cocktail I am taking is good, but it is suggested that now that my finger tips are numb that I should stop taking that drug and go without for the summer. Most people can only handle 8 or so treatments and I am on number 14. The reduced effectiveness is not worth the nerve damage being sustained. Surgery doesn't appear to be an option either, there is just to much cancer to deal with. The danger heavily out weighs any possible benefits. All I would do is just damage or lose some of the remainder of the functioning liver left. Typically they try to clear one lobe and let the other function and then possibly switch, but that will never work with the quantity I have. No radiation, surgery, or cyro can ever work.

So we stay with various forms of chemo forever until I pass. The outlook remains the same. Everybody in my boat only last 2-5 years, but there are always exceptions. I need at least 6 to see Paige graduate from high school and 8-12 to see college graduation. There has to be goals set!!!!

I got to say I am a bit disheartened. The info was very consistent, but this lady was much more able to explain reasons for and against different approaches.

It sucks to be me today for sure, so I am enjoying a real beer tonight.

As always, thank you for caring to read and your good wishes.

Good night,

Jeff
