Yes, absolutely. It gives me a lot of hope - though it may be wishful thinking borderline delusional - to read online accounts of people who have either beat or prolonged life by taking natural holistic approaches to such diagnosis. I feel like maybe my brain isn’t processing the information yet because on the outside my dad does not seem sick let alone like someone who is dying despite the storm going on inside of him. I agree about all the dr visits. Personally I refuse to go to the doctor unless I know something is wrong. It feels like a thing where you go looking for something to be wrong, you’re gonna find it. Anyways we are 750 miles apart in different states. Going to go see him in a week and spend some good time. Thanks for the responses, I do really appreciate them. Take care.
