      I'm so sorry to hear this news. This is NEVER an easy decision. I will pray he has more good days over bad. And that he is comfortable and can make some more memories with you and the family. My heart breaks for you and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

    Decision Point (Natural Remedies?): In November 2015, Mark tried an herbal remedy called Hoxsey. After a month his liver tumor markers increased drastically and we had to go back on chemotherapy.

      What is Hoxsey? I've never heard of it. I'm so sorry he's having problems. Hoping he finds a treatment that works for him. Blessings to both of you.
