debandbill- Just checked with my Dad and I have it confused. The first time we weren't told a stage and that was only a surgery. The second time was Stage IV and that was the ND surgery, chemo, and radiation. All the surgeries were done at MSK, but the chemo and radiation were closer to where we are from (central NJ).


ChristineB- Thanks, I've actually read a decent amount of your posts and it's been impressive to see how you managed to stay tough.

The worst part about all of this is that her spirits have been so down b/c of the radiation side effects, and now we were hit with this. Just hoping she stays motivated to fight.

We are going to try to schedule an appt with the Cancer Center of Philadelphia and see what they think. It just worries me that our doctor is only listing chemo alone as the possible treatment, and how grim his outlook seems to be.
