I’m going through the same process right now , I was lucky to find a different doctor where my previous doctor saw me he never gave me any advice on my condition of chronic pain and fatigue well after seeing my new Dr she said to get a ultrasound on my stomach and they found my stage 4 bilary tube cancer that was also metastasis they told me I had 4 months to live . Well here we are 19 months later also a dr in NYC told me . My #s where the highest he’s ever seen ! Dr. Leiterman great guy! He’s on radio 101.5 for people who have cancer and he’s currently treating them with great success.

Extra, I have a question for you please? I have a drain sticking out of my stomach it’s capped. But they keep replacing my stent I’m on #4 now do you have a drain like me?

William, no, I do not have any tunes. I am pleased to hear about your success with your treatment--it gives me hope.

Tubes, not tunes (I have plenty of those)!
