Spanky is there a clinical trial he could get into that he wouldn't have to pay for anything. So sorry he has been given this diagnosis just when he thought he was on the road to recovery. Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair.

Thank you, everyone, for your prayers and suggestions. Karen is working with a wonderful financial assistant/adviser with the hospital. Before this latest relapse his bills were over $500,000, of which below $50,000 was paid out of pocket. They were saving that money to move to Colorado some day.

Since moving back to CO is my plan as well, I casually suggested we buy a duplex and the four of us (me, my BF, Karen and Jim) take care of each other. Before Jim went back to the hospital, my BF had mentioned K&J staying with us after we move; I threw in the duplex idea. Karen didn't laugh; she said my BF might be on to something. I wanted to never have a unit number in my address ever again, but I'd do it if this happened.

Oh, and Sally, it wasn't my Jim's oncologist who set that timeline. I don't know what dr it was. Karen and Jim LOVE their oncologist. He is the one who says there's still hope and is working to supply it.

I absolutely hate it when doctor's give a timeline. Like they're God. Any one of us - healthy or not - could have that timeline. And nobody should speculate on what it will be.

Some doctors are just too big for their britches.......
