    Hey Bluey, 

    Yep no argument that's news you don't want to hear. Fucked big time.
    Dealing some some similar shit ATM, Three years ago Oncologist told me 18 months if I was lucky. I told her I will make her look silly with my life expectancy - and have so far.(she's amazed that I'm still here)
    I know there are lots of different types of this NASTY shit but they also have lots of treatments.
    My attitude is - What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger. (works for me)
    Iv'e had three months of Chemo and four rounds of radiation - got WAY sicker from treatment than thought I would but even on some of my BAD days I managed to get my Shovel out and go for a short ride. Felt WAY better when I got back.
    My Oncologist said what ever your doing keep doing it, I told her her patients need to get an old bike or car. LOL
    A scheduled scan in September came back bad, the shit we had shrunk has doubled in size and there is new tumors/progression.
    They told me there was no more options, but they know I'm a bit out there and they all know by now not gunna lay down to this shit.
    I've started an Immunotherapy to see if we can slow it, I told Oncologist I'll eat broken glass if it will help.(i'm sure she scribbles on my file - crazy as well) 
    New scans end of Jan to see how it's responding.
    On this subject a mate of mine up the coast suffered in silence for three months and passed after refusing treatment - possibly because he new how sick the treatment had made me? But Fuck being sick to get a couple extra years is always a bonus. I wish I'd known he was crook, I would have been onto him about getting/refusing treatment. Life is WAY too good .
    I very rarely comment on forum but lately have plenty of time to check in.
    I see you comment/post stuff on here Blue, so whilst I don't personally know you or what type of the SHIT you are dealing with I wish you all the best mate.
    Be strong, stay positive and like I tell people - We never win every fight in life, but I've never laid down to one either.
    Iv'e got a builder mate and I told him if they put me in a box they had better put four inch bugles in the lid, otherwise I'll kick the fucking lid off.
    Sorry for the short rant

    Blue stay strong, positive enjoy your time with family and do what you love. Makes a big difference I think.
