Dr Lin and Sarah's Mom

Hi Sarah: Is your Mom still in the care of Dr Lin and if so, how has her treatment gone?

I saw Dr Lin in November 08 for a opinion after my brain mets dx and Cyberknife treatment. She was very nice and thoughtful about her advice. She was not on the same page as me about the use of WBR nor my choice to treat my lesions with Cyberknife, but she gave me all of her best advice and we spent about an hour together. She was respectful of my choices and agreed to continue to follow my care and help me with future decsions, if the need arises.

As a matter of fact, I want to attend the MCBC at DF in May, where she will be speaking. I have an appointment to see her the Monday following the conference, but having difficulty finding affordable lodging that week-end. So not sure if I will make it. Will you be attending?

You look awesome in that scarf!! Hollywood really needs to feature Cancer Couture, don't you think?

Take care...Darlene in Virginia Beach
