Sharon,

I read your reply about the metatastic spreading....My husband has cancer in his pancreas (that's where they are saying it's originating this tim) spread to his L8 and L5 Lumbar, throughout his liver .....how can I get doctors to say this correctly in reports? He is 100% for the Laryengel cancer....

Just confused on what you said about secondary compared to what Berta says...They give my husband less than 6 months .....
