FWIW, he still feels fine. He played ball several times this afternoon(he MAKES you play ball, you don't have to ask him). I know it can only prolong the inevitable, but if it bought him a couple more good months, wouldn't it be worth it? Also, this drug is just an injection. The one he was previously on was a 6-7 hour IV infusion, which of course, he hated. Any thoughts?

Homer, I don't know what to say. If he isn't in pain and you need the extra time to prepare yourself for the inevitable, then maybe this is what you need to do. I guess if the cost is reasonable, then go for it. There will come a time when you have to make this horrible decision, and I wish you all the love and strength for it.
