Sorry to hear about your husband.  I just want to tell you from my experience with my dad and remember every paitent is different and drs are not god.  My dad did well with cancer for 18 months then he started to get complications from the cancer and went down hill very very fast.  We where in denial and thought he will get stronger and fight longer.  After seeing him suffer for a month we asked the drs what to expect and they said a few months and he died 2 months later.  I think it gets to a point when the dr's get tell from the symptoms the complications and others things how long the patient has left but again they are not god.  Im just telling you this because we where in denial and I feel my dad suffered because of that.  We didnt get him the proper care right away (hospice) so he suffered anxiety and couldnt sleep at night he suffered pain that hospice would of gotton under control if they where there.  Once we got hospice in he was must more comfortable and they help you and the patient physically and mentally go through the process.   We didnt tell our dad that the drs said months and im sorry I didnt because we never talked about his passing on.  We all acted like nothing was wrong and I wish I told him things.  But I truly think my dad couldnd handle the truth.  Mindy
