Yes all of my Loves, he is going to wait until 7/2 for Dana Farber. When he had an emergency visit to his Oncologist on 6/22 (first visit I did not attend still in trama 'bout it) he said: "Yes I am going to put you on a chemo regime AFTER DFCI, for now I will only offer a series of radiation in the lower spine". When we went to the Radiologist he explained the side effects vs. benefits. Hubby chose to wait even for radiation we do not want to exhaust any options and there is no dire need for it with DFCI in the near future. The only option at the time was the rads to lower spine and he's waiting on that.

Thank You My Angels for the advice and support, we love you all!! So glad the doctor was firm. Also, when I left work to go and pick him up for the Radiologist appointment he was sitting in his chair at home. Soon as I walked in he said "Oohhh, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go!" Firmly and gently I handed him his sneakers! God this man is so cute, well that was until we went to the appointment, all through it he said I would pay!!!!!!! (I know, I'm so mean!) I bought him lunch at a quaint little deli and called it even!

We went on to have a spectacular day!!

Everlastingly....Believe51...(Marie G)
