Bugger. I lost my father to terminal cancer a few year's ago. There are no miracles, but the seeming arbitrariness of the disease can sometimes be countered by an apparently arbitrary remission (going from some people in Dad's cancer support group who were deemed "terminal"). I hope for your FIL it is such - any measure isn't desperate, but reasonable pragmatism. Goodonya for trying.

Also, it's beef stew weather.
I haven't been up there for years.

FIL is now 82 and doing well for himself. He has been on a new drug for kidney cancer and has lasted a year longer than originally expected. We have been expecting a bad deterioration for months, but lately he seems better. Apart from losing quite a bit of weight, he still lives on his boat and drives his car and looks after himself very well. He doesn't look sick, just old, and I guess he is old. I am hoping he stays reasonably well until the end.
