My husband's already nixed the idea of organ transplant. He's convinced that his age (75) and preexisting medical conditions (pancreatic, kidney complications and diabetes) would reduce his chances of recovery to zero. And that's even if a transplant department would approve it.

Our surgical appointment was just cancelled until next week but we're seeing the oncologist tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll get a sense of what the best way forward is considering his overall health.

Like so many things, life has a habit of catching you sideways. The learning curve never ends!
