Hi Cindy, How is your husband doing? I am very interested in your story. We went to see our third specialist yesterday at the Princess Margaret in Toronto, Canada. We received the same news as the other Doctors, because the cancer has spread to this vertabrae, they will not orperate. He is doing well considering what he is dealing with except that the stents are always clogging, he is having a metal stent put in on March 24. He starts Chemo on April 1/05 (5 FU). There are a few drugs we would like him to try, I am currently investigating why they cannot be offered to him. Take care, Lana H
