Well, my two cents worth ---having lived with this disease for the last 2 years I too would say "go for the gold" and give it everything you can the first time around. The treatment is tough but very survivable. After treatment you will have enough anxiety waiting from test result to test result without the added doubt of whether you were aggresive enough to begin with. Going for the gold now will at least take some of that anxiety away. Good luck - Kris
