51. If you are a hard worker please do so!

Listen to your doctor when you meet. Ask questions - lots of them! Get a second opinion. Follow your treatment plan closely. Do the things that are recommended. This comes from someone who was diagnosed in 2015 with a fatal autoimmune disease and told I had 5 to 15 months to live. My doctor was a fighter who put together a specialist team immediately. Following the steps above and living my life one day at a time working on things that were left for me to do, I'm still here. Tough days, but good ones as well! I'm wholeheartedly wishing the same for you! Good luck and know that we are all with you in spirit. Hugs and Encouragement on their way to you. Using hospice is on my future plans as well, and finding a support group is important.
