                  Damn, that sounds really bad. I'm so sorry, Larry!

                  I wonder why an ICU nurse would tell patients something like that when it's not true.

                  From what I understand, while stage 4 is always pretty bad, a lot now depends on the details, such as the exact histological type, the size and localization of metastases, ...

                  I wish there was something we could do.

                    From his messages, it appears that it was true. Or at least somewhat true - stage 4. Nevertheless, it is not the role of an ICU nurse to do this. It's the role of the docs taking care of the patients. She should be reprimanded.

                    From what I understand, while stage 4 is always pretty bad, a lot now depends on the details, such as the exact histological type, the size and localization of metastases, ...

                    Yes. A big medical center should be able to make those determinations and direct further therapy.

                        Larry, I hope you can get this message, or George can share it with you.

                        Please consider coming to Mayo here in Minnesoooota. You deserve top tier docs and oncologists, and we have them here. I can help if you or your wife need some tips, info, or whatever on coming to Rochester, and I would be very happy to help you and your sweet bride.

                        You could at least get the Mayo doctors' ideas on what options would be best for you, and they may have options that have not been presented to you yet. Mayo will have a team of docs, not just one, that will review your case and come up with various options. You're worth getting another set of expert eyes on your health situation before you make decisions.

                              Mayo is good. Used to deal with their lab all the time. But there are other good institutions, with strong treatment areas. When I think of cancer, I think of M.D. Anderson.

                              And I have no idea how much Larry would like to travel. A lot of patients dont like to venture too far away from family support systems. Vanderbilt is not too far. I know they have a cancer center. Duke would be to the East.

                              Every patient is different. Like Jon, my mom had lung cancer...Small oat cell. Mom had the oncologist shaking his head, because she made it almost four years. That was back in the late 90's, and I'm sure we have better treatments today, than back then.

                                  I will echo the recommendations to visit a top notch medical center. There are always treatments not available or known to smaller locations.

                                          Be thinking of you, Larry. Whenever you need a break from things, remember that there's plenty of dumb bullshit here to focus on for awhile. 😄

                                          (Serious about that, though. Sometimes stuff like that can help.)

                                          Please love yourself.
