Once more. Danie, I read the post and this gives me much hope! Sounds like the patient there had been given about the same options as Rusty (my husband). He has been depressed about all of this, as is certainly understandable (I have been, too) and has been somewhat resistant to the "keep looking for an answer" that I keep pressing. I have printed out these posts and will show them to him tonight, they should certainly give him the optimistic feeling I have gotten from them! We have been lucky that the oncologist is so very willing to take time and is so empathetic; you have to respect these physicians for the hard work they do. Thank you all again and I will check back in with I have more info. If anyone knows particularly who at UF Shands is the "BEST", I would appreciate the information.
