Hi Tina & Mike,

The easiest thing to do is give up. I don't think
It's the right decision to make at all. So mamy members of this forum have endured all kinds of treatments that knock the hell out of you but they are around to tell us about it. They are fighters!!!! That's what Mike needs to do. To roll over and let this diaease win without a battle is lame. He can survive this!!!!

Remember that we are here to offer support and he can vent here anytime. The road is not nice and smooth but rather bumpy. Nothing worth fighting for is easy. He will be able to hold his head high knowing he gave it his all. What he is experiencing is not unique. Time to get over the poor me attitude and start fighting this with all he's got. Gary was right on when he said that this type of death is not an attractive way to go. Have Mike talk to his minister and some survivors and he will get in the game. Fight like Hell!!!! He can win this battle, so many others have.

Best wishes, Dan
