And the one thing I don't understand is the taking their time thing. With the moderate growth etc. They can't predict that - I disagree totally with that tact - cancer is cancer. It changes and as the body gets weaker it gains more of a foot hold. So time is always of the essence (as the appearance of a second tumor would indicate. In that situation I tend to personalize it to the drs. If this was a close family member - your child? mother? sibling? Would you want to take your time?
Hugs... don't know for buying time. Hope for a cure and thing positively.
