hi Bill, Thanks for the heartfelt response. My brother is seeing Dr. Ajani who we were told was a great stomach cancer doctor. My brother did get into a clinical trial which he will start the chemo on tuesday. It is the end of phase one trial so he will definately get the new drug. We were told that you get much more carefully monitored care while in a study.
He is not a surgery candidate. I really liked this doctors philosophy though...he said you could die tomorrow or in 5 years but so could I. My brother is very down and depressed. my family says he doesn't get out of bed except to go to the appointments. I worry about his lack of fight ...patty
