My oncologist came in this evening and said essentially the same thing the surgeon said, that the cancer in not curable. But she said there is some chemo management they can do to prolong my life a bit. Not great news but maybe I will have time to go on a cruise which I've always wanted to do. The saddest thing for me is I won't see my great grandbabies. My granddaughter and her husband are planning on starting a family in a few years. I was supposed to be in South Carolina right now seeing my grandson-in-law graduate from boot camp at Fort Jackson, but....
