Tony,

I am sorry to read that you have a recurrence. I wish I could offer you some suggestions. But there are so many others here who can do that far better than me. I can appreciate your wanting to choose quality of life over more invasive procedures. But what if you get treatment and beat the doctor's prediction for you (8 months)? I wish you peace and comfort as you make your decision. Either way, you have my support!

All the best--
Anita
