2nd Opinion Comes back the same if not worse

I went to Vanderbilt today to get a second opinion and well it didn't go well. I had intentions of seeing a specialist that I had looked at on line that was the head of his department. After driving 3 hours and waiting another 2 hours to see him, they finally took me upstairs. Into the room walked a very young student. She asked me to tell her about my self and what was going on with me as to get the ball rolling and I just paused and said, Wheres the doctor? Next developed a small lecture as to the need for students to learn and so forth and well with out going into all the details I finally did get to see the fellow I had intended to. He gave me the same news as I had already had. Only with him it was No Cure, No Hope, We can palliative treat you for a while but there is just no good answer to the cancer. He agrees that its probably Gastric but can't be for sure. He estimates 8 or 9 months.

Now what ..... I have just gotta get this figured out. I won't let this be the end of me.
