        Thanks for the words of hope and support.

        We had heard of both of the drugs you mention and asked the Dr. about them.  He said they were unavailable in our area.

        I'm hoping that if I can figure out a way to see another Dr., they will be able to find either or both.

              Thanks to this site, I did find them. Next I have to figure out how to get my insurance to cover going there.  The only place they'll cover is the oncologist who said they couldn't do anything more.

              We don't have cancer insurance.

              How do you fight through all this?  There must be a work-around I havn't figured out yet.
