It is very hard for my family-especially me.  I am a very realistic person and from what I read it basically tells me he has 1 year tops.  If their are any success stories out there please relay them too me-I need to hear them so it will change my outlook on things.  Also, since the surgery he had to be re-admitted to the hospital because of a bowel obstruction and have now found out that the incision has become infected and is leaking in his stomach?  He has a drain tube in his nose.  Will he survive this?  Can someone please give me some advise or previous experiences please I am desperate.Thanks for listening-and God Bless to everyone with cancer.  My heart goes out to all of you.   onesweetgreek Sun, 25 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT
