Boyd,

    Since having breast cancer 3 years ago, my wife has been involved in support groups and we know several people who have had stage 4 cancer for 2 or 3 years and the medication they receive keeps knocking it down, and other than feeling lousy one day a month when they receive the medication, they live normal lives.  It sounds like you are seeing all the right people and doing the right things.  There are a lot of options now that didn't exist in the past and depending on what you gave, many of them are effective.

Ken

   Dear fellow List participants,
   I am very sorry to have to say that I am going into Mt. Sinai Hospital
   in NYC on MondayA  10/27/2014
   to undergo surgery . They think I have a liver cancer . Either Hepatic
   cellular carcinomaA  or coleoangelo carcinoma ( Cancer of the bile
   duct). They are both bad but The later is actually much worse. I have
   been to a local hospital (North Shore which is part of Long Island
   Jewish Hillside medical center) which is a good hospital, but I have
   also been to NYU Langone,A  Sloan Kettering memorial Hospital, and MT
   Sinai Hospital. The last three are considered to be among the best
   cancer hospitals in the world and Memorial Sloan Kettering is only for
   cancer is is considered to be one of the best in the world. I have had
   countless diagnostic procedures (cat scans, Sonograms, MRI's and
   biopsies) The tests have ranged from inconclusiveA  toA  conclusive but
   not definitive. So on Monday I am undergoing a surgical biopsy where
   they will perform the biopsy while I am on the operating table. If the
   results show a malignancy the will preform a liver resection. That is
   where the remove the section of the liver that contains the tumor and
   it has the best chance of completely eradicating the cancer. There is a
   significant risk involved but the risk is worth the potential reward. I
   just wanted to let everyoneA  know how much I have enjoyed my
   association with the group and have never met a group with such
   substantial proportion of the members were gentlemen and all were ready
   ,willing, ans when able to assist other members. So in the event IA
   disappear from the list you will all know what happened to me. I hopeA
   thatA  this letter will be nothing more then a humorous footnote in the
   history of "The Big list" but if not I wanted everyone to know how much
   I enjoyed and appreciated my associationA  with them.A  And as has been
   said many times before "Drive like there is no tomorrow for there may
   not be.
   Sincerely , with Love and deepest affection,
   Hugh Boyd Casey
