Conan the Barbarian when asked what is best in life answered "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."

Transit, I hope you have crushed your enemies, driven them before you and listened to the lamentations of their women.

With the new chemo, if I do not make it, I have urged my friend to join tractor buy net. I know he will be in good hands.

Re: I am at the end of my road.

When you go in for chemo, ask about combination therapy. I've seen gemcitabine used for bladder cancer, but along with other meds.

Regimens:

Gemcitabine-Carboplatin
Gemcitabine-Cisplatin
Paclitaxel-Carboplatin-Gemcitabine
Paclitaxel-Gemcitabine

Some MD's are very arrogant and get upset with other people recommending regimens. But coming from a patient, I wouldn't anticipate an MD getting upset.

Wish you the best.

Re: I am at the end of my road.

Here is the bottom line,

I was at Sloan today to speak with the docs overseeing my case. As it stands now they gave me 4 months to live, I was figuring on a year. There is another chemo drug to try that is 40% effective given every 8 days, if it works at all, if not that is the end. I know how badly my mother suffered with Colon cancer, I would go to a right to die state like Origen and end it all.

For a while I was in Catholic school where I learned to read, I could never get into the magic smoke, wine, olive oil and bread or any of the mumbo jumbo, I was always in trouble with the nuns for not going to Sunday mass with my class. Happy day when I got back to public school.

If it makes YOU feel better you may pray for me.

Well,
Make it the best four months of your life if you can! I know of terminal cancer patients going out and buying a brand new Corette and traveling accross the country until the very last moment; I knew her and her husband very well.... Corvettsforcancer.com

If you got 4 months-do something with it.
