To all,

Had my second chemo today. Did react to this one also, but they

stopped it quicker and took care of the reaction so it was not nearly as bad.

Had a hard talk with the doctor, and have more hard facts.

If the chemo does not work (40% chance of that), they can try others

that have even less chance, but I would likely be dead within a

year. If the chemo does work (60% odds, like this one better), the

odds of living 5 years are 40%, 10 years are slightly over 10%.

So this is what I get when I pin him down to the facts, something it

is hard to do.

So, I plan on the chemo working and being around for a while. But, I

have to say, my life expectancy has dropped dramatically from what I

expected a few years ago.
