This does suck honey, and you have a right to complain about the fact that it does as often as you like.. because it does.

I think you should take some time to be upset, but also listen to the people above and likely the people below who will also echo them, I think the doctor is being too pessimistic about the treatments out there. Take some time to work through the frustration, and then go out there and figure out what you CAN do.
