Guest guest Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 JD, sorry to hear that your doctor said you only have 20 months. As you know from reading on this group, the doctors don't know everything. Many people outlive their doctor's prognosis, thankfully. As you say, NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT. That means taking care of yourself. Eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, walk for exercise, try to reduce your stress. There is no sense in being sad. Smile and laugh and enjoy each day of the years that you have left. And pray a lot! God loves you and is waiting for your return to Him, but prayer can delay the inevitable. I pray that God keeps you safe and healthy and with your loved one(s). Hang in there. God bless. ~Deb from KS jdjdmich wrote: I was diagnosed with small bowel cancer in April. It has a very poor prognosis; usually 20 months or so since it usually throws out mets to the liver and stomach. Luckily, mine didn't. I had surgery and the folfox regime. I am one lucky person since my cancer is in remission with no signs of it in me. I know my fight may not be over but NEVER give up hope. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
