      Kevin,

      I am happy to hear you qualify for what sounds like a great tx option. I am happy your cells responded so well! Keep praying my friend and I will keep you in my prayers as well.

      I hate to wait for anything I like immediate results. I hope this all turns out well for you and that you are not in too much pain after your procedure.

      Galbladder will act up after eating if you have a GB problem, it gets especially irritated after a greasy meal. Have your MD check you out and if they think it is gb they can order a hydascan and get it checked out. Good luck.

      Hi sounds like acid reflux. I would suggest that you see your doc before taking any OTC meds though because if you are on medications the OTC's can interact with them. You may also want to confirm the dx of acid reflux. Don't lay down after you eat, cut down on the caffeine even chocolate contains caffeine. Caffeine makes acid reflux worse. Smoking will agitate it as well. Hope this is helpful to you.

      I am not sure how hospice will affect any clinical trials in the future. I used to work in hospice though and I know that you can decline hospice care at any time no questions. Maybe the dr is saying that if the clinical trials see that he has already qualified for hospice they may not accept him based on they may think he is too far advanced in his disease but honestly I am not sure. Your doctor can order pain meds for him also that you can give at home. Hospice can teach you how to use these meds and then step out maybe that is an option.
