Hi, I've posted a couple of times regarding my friend. He's 46 y.o./stage 3b (Maybe even 4 now). He just finished Cysplat+ VB-16(?) and a full course of Radiation. Though his tumor shrunk, his nodes grew larger(during Rad & chemo) and he is having a new area in his lung biopsied this week. His spine and illiac crest lit up on his PET scan, where they did not prior to tx. Right now he is going by what his doctor said and he is devastated. She told him 2 years max. (He has full custody of his two young boys.) I have gotten some great responses on this board, and I thank anyone who can tell me any positive stories to relay to him. I am trying to get him to believe me when I say there is hope. Also, what is the next step for him? I thank all of the kind and brave people who post here. It makes such a difference to have people who care and who will share their stories. Thanks.
