I'm asking my doc about anything else I can do to fight this thing - nutrition, etc. The doc tells me, nope, "this is not curable". I have inoperable lung mets which so far we've kept stable and shrunk a little with chemo. But that's it? I haver ZERO chance of achieving remission at this point? It just can't happen? I can understand that it's difficult, rare, not the norm, etc...but completely, absolutely impossible? That's hard to take.
