Janine - Welcome to the forum. You and your husband and son have a rough ride ahead of you. Treatment for our type of cancer can be very tough. I too was a late stage IV. Get involved in the decision making. Keep your husband involved. He should be aksing tons of questions.

Get him a small tape recorder to take along to his appointments. You go with him too. Take your son once in while. Read this site - there are hundreds of pages of very good info here. Use the search function. Let your teenager be your researcher. Ask questions in this forum. There are no stupid questions about cancer.

Come here often. Have your husband come here too. And your son. You can do this. We did. We can help. Be strong, Tom
