Well, we will be leaving for OncoMan's in a bit and my belly is not in the best shape. This appointment will be a major one for us with much information to digest and many decisions to make. We took some time off to deal with the pain issues and to see if more brain mets declared themselves. Ed and I feel he cannot wait any longer, we let a little time slip by, by choice of course and now he is BEGGING for treatment. He knows something is going on in his body and is now screaming for chemotherapy! He is ready to kick some more butt!! (wanted to say a**-----smiling)

~Pain Management
~Chemotherapy Discussion & Final Decision
~Gamma Knife Planning & Procedure Date
~Cervical/Skull....ah...what to do with this issue
~Possible Radiation To The Spine If He Has Not Reached His Quota
~After Appointment Lunch On Me (this is getting costly...HA, HA!)

I really want us all to consider the Temadar for the brain. Hopefully we can play the Herceptin/Tykerb/and Temadar card....you know 'cause Ed and I are now doctor's....Tehehe.

Wish us luck cause...Away Weeee Gooo!!>>Believe51
