Glad to hear you are going with a specialty facility. Please, hang on to hope. There doesn't seem to be enough metastases to believe you have a fatal recurrence.

I understand the appeal of thinking about the worst case scenario. It prepares us for terrible news and anything less dire is a cause for happiness and relief. Do not buy into a personal doomsday prediction made by your doctor. No one can tell you how much time you have left on your life clock.

Best wishes with your second opinion. I hope it calms your fears and gives you a plan of action that is curative rather than palliative.

Take care!

Sandy
