Hi Marie,
Thanks for checking in with mostly good news - seems the mets are shrinking, except for the one"angry" one, which I hope will be gone as well ASAP.

Unfortunately, I have sometimes come across rude arrogant doctors in my time - I'm glad you put that SOB in his place - I doubt he would talk like that if it had been his father/brother/uncle/child in the bed instead of the Mighty Oak -

3 years ago when my DH was being misdiagnosed by every doctor and specialist around (he had a brain aneurysm, but was missing the most usual symptom - worst headache of your life), his GP was major arrogant with us - he said that "in no way was Allan's condition neurological", and that I (his wife) had "no business getting all these tests ordered "- CT scan, MRIs etc. Yeah well when DH finally got diagnosed by the most caring brilliant neuroradiologist around - I phoned that a**hole up and left a nasty message on his answering machine - We have to advocate and fight for ourselves and our loved ones wherever we are -

I wish you and Ed a very happy holiday Marie - you certainly deserve it.

all the best
