Georgia,
So sorry you are on this board and will keep you in my prayers. I agree with Diane. I would get a second opinion ASAP. I know everyone has their own experiences when it comes to this cancer but I had a friend who was given a similiar diagnoses at a CCC and went to another major hospital and received a completely different option for different chemo drugs and is still doing ok today. My only point being that getting another opinion can make all of the difference in the world. I would not just sit back and see what happens.
Best wishes Kim
