Nocam,
I am deeply sorry for you and the news that you received. It seems like there are a lot of veterans on this site that have some viable suggestions. I really don't know what else to say. I hope that you and your team can come up with a treatment plan that will save your life as you are willing to accept it as a new normal. I wouldn't want to have to make the decisions that you are facing. Just take some comfort in knowing that there are people here who have been there and done that...not a good choice, I know.

I am with you every step of the way, as I'm sure we all are.

Please try to do things that will help you relax and laugh a little as you wait for these plans and decisions to be made.

With great care,
Kerri
