Tricia, I am so sorry to hear you have to deal with this. But one thing I know is you are a true warrior/fighter...and if anyone can kick CA into the twilight zone again its you! You've beat it three times before and you will again.
It's sounds like you have a very positive onc and one that's ready to get the job done. You hang in there and know you will be in my thoughts & prayers. Sending you lots of positive energy to beat this.

(Big hug coming your way!)
