Kim,

Did you read my post to you below?

Yes is the answer to all of your questions.

Please scroll down and see what I posted to you last time.

You will hear the docs give you 'standard' protocal. But with knowledge you and your mom can ask for and receive further treatments successfully.

hugs to you both. (please read what I posted to you before),

sounds like the GK and your upcoming appt are all on the right track.

Can't remember if you said, but hopefully your mom is also on a dose of Decadron to help get the symptoms (nausea etc.) under control first.

keeping you both in my thoughts,
hugs,
pattyz
