So sorry to hear this. Stay strong and fight the fight. It's amazing what treatment can do these days compared to even 5 years ago. Keep us posted, there are a number of survivors in here, including me. I'm sure any one of us would be happy to talk. I found talking with people who went through cancer very helpful and hopeful. All the best!

My thoughts and best wishes are with you. My most earnest hope is for a miraculous medical breakthrough that can prolong your life. Even a medical trial. We have had friends and relatives with stage four cancer who have participated in medical trials that really helped them.

Best to you. Your fitness is probably the best thing you could do ahead of time to prep you for this battle. Keep posting, none of us know what to say but we will reply anyway.

Absolutely wishing the best for you, as you and your family fight through the treatment.
I understand it's a terrible diagnosis and the treatment road ahead is sure to be very tough, but gotta keep up the positive attitude and we're all here rooting for you. Keeping you in my thoughts, fight on! |

So sorry to hear this. You and your family will be in my prayers, along with Dave. I spent most of my Nursing career in Oncology, so know more than most people about this disease. It’s wonderful to hear how your friends are rallying around you. Take one day at a time. Focus on the good things in your life, and if you have a grail watch, get it!

I usually don't read these "C" threads but yours struck a chord with me, and is the only one I have ever read. I also have never read any of your posts that I can think of. Yes, I ended that sentence with a preposition, so what?! I'm 57 now and was diagnosed two years ago with the same thing, same stage. Still going, still feeling pretty good except for a few days after infusions. I too have always been very active and in great health. Everybody looks at me and can't believe I have Cancer. It is quite strange. I'm glad you have a good support group around you, and the people on this forum have always been great too. My advice to you, keep a positive mental attitude and don't let it hold you back. Stay strong. PM me if you want to talk or have any questions.

Ralph. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I lost my father to brain cancer some years back. Believe me a positive attitude goes a long way.
Stay in the fight and find a support group for both you and your family to attend. To be able to share how you feel with others in the same battle helps tremendously. You got this. |

Hang in there Ralph. I can't understand what you are going through and won't claim to. I will say that I've survived cancer twice and am currently weighing my treatment options for another go round with it.
Having it puts life into a view point that not every gets to see. It puts in, and opens up, a new perspective on virtually everything. Good thoughts for you Ralph. Keep on keeping on is what I like to say. |

So sorry to read this, I hope you still have a chance of recovery.
Hits me hard to read it since this is so similar to when my dad got the same news at age 70 a couple of years ago, he unfortunately did not make it, but wasn't in as good shape as you are, so don't lose hope! |

Thanks TRF you are all true angels. Cant express how much your kind words and thoughts drive me to beat this thing, and let’s all keep Peter, PADI in our thoughts. Peace and Love, Ralph
