Thanks Bill,
I should have mentioned mom is on Xeloda so the IV/clinic ritual isn't there. Still..it's chemo and you would think an onc would want all the info possible. I've made it clear any request can be accomodated.
Regarding brain MRI vs CT, I'm wondering about a Medicare reimbursement issue skewing towards CT. Hmmm.
