      Kevin,

      In my opinion you need to seek a different Dr. This Dr. might be very good but his presentation is going to be wearing on you.  You need a Dr. that is truthful but you also need one that feels that these drugs will help.  There have been many breakthroughs recently and you could be a responder!

      Many on the board have seeked second opinions.

      I have been stage IV now for 4 years. Everyone's disease is a bit different, you are not a statistic!!  It's normal to be worried and sometimes you have to give in to the emotional tides, but it's more important after that to get back into fighting mode.

      Wishing you the best,

      Linda
