Glad to hear things are moving for you - I'm an advocate of expedience - some drs will say - don't worry cancer can't and won't move that quickly - but everyone is different, every cancer - though they tend to follow similar patterns - reacts to the individual differently. so no dr. Can tell you that for certain and if they do - then I would seriously question it. It sucks that Christmas won't be great - but hopefully because of the speed they are moving - he'll have many more to come. Hugs!!! (and yes you're right - I used to work as a nurse... Adults are stinky and gross... loved L&D and surge, and pediatrics! )
