Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers. It is indeed a very difficult time for us.

PaulB, the RO has already ruled out surgery; his comparison being, "when your house is on fire, just dousing the bedroom won't help." The MO is in charge of drug development and it is possible that she might suggest clinical trials.

Nancy14, your case (I read about it on the other thread but could not comment as I was still waiting for the results of John's CT scan) may be quite different. Please take it a day at a time and try not to get ahead of yourself.
