I'm sorry to hear the bad news. I get the feeling from the title of your thread "...or is it?" and the last thing you wrote..."but I'm not out", that you still have some fight in you.
Have you considered another opinion? Are you being treated in a Comprehensive Cancer Center, with a team of doctors and the opportunity for several heads being put together? There may be some other options out there for you.
Please keep us posted and good luck.
