Thanks to all of you for your responses. I'm still learning a lot about this disease even as I write to you. I have been in shock since my diagnosis and I hate to admit that I have not asked a lot of hard questions of my onc.
I plan to do a lot of reading over the weekend and make a list of things to address with her when I talk to her again on Monday afternoon. I appreciate hearing from all of you. I read your posts all the time and glad that I have you to talk to.

The onc. I see is a member of a group of associates at a cancer center connected to one of four hospitals in our area called Baptist Hospital. We also have a University of Mississippi Medical Center that also has a cancer center, which I heard is also pretty good. I was referred to my onc. from a surgeon that I saw initially before my first scans.

I moved to Mississippi four years ago with my husband and eight year old daughter.
We don't know a lot of people in the area, but I have a co-worker that has given me some names of people to talk to about doctors in the area.

My mom in Alabama has also reminded me that I can pray and things will work out.
thanks again.
