A Debt of Gratitude to the members of this group

[Colleens_Husband]

Dear Friends:

Yesterday Colleen had an appointment with her oncologist and for the first time in this whole process, I felt that we had enough knowledge to make informed decisions.

The oncologist said Colleen could choose to have two more chemotherapy infusions or go straight to radiation. After discussing some of the research on the value of two more infusions, Colleen decided to have the two more infusions only this time with TCH instead of TAC like the first four.

We left the oncologist's office feeling that we made the wisest most informed decision we could although two more chemo infusions is not going to be pleasant.

The more I know the oncologist, the more I am impressed with him. He readily will admit that the research is inconclusive and that he doesn't have all of the answers. I am pretty sure he has most of the answers and he is confident enough in his skill as a doctor to admit that he doesn't know it all. I feel that the doctor/diety types will get a person killed.

Anyways, I would like to thank all of you for being part of one of the best support groups on the internet and for allowing me and Colleen to make intelligent, informed decisions.
