We just got home from all the PET's and meeting with the RAD Dr. Basically - the cancer is all over Jim, now. In his ribs, sternum, left femur, shoulder blades and up and down his spine. I am so upset - have been crying all day - the waiting rooms are so lonely and they treat you like a bunch of cattle. Jim of course is his stoic self and doesn't act like anything is wrong. You are right, Sue, he is so strong and I wish I wouldn't have crumbled like I did. They will radiate his back on Monday to give him some relief, and I'm sure they will hit him with some high power chemo - what are the side effects of Taxotere? Anyway, thank you all for your prayers....we need them.
