OK,

Josh, sorry, I was kind of abrupt with my question but needed the sequence of events to help me and everyone else give some intelligent answers. We are all so sorry that your Mom is facing this recurrence - I am sure it is so very hard to get that news.

SK is well respected but everyone here would encourage you to get that second opinion. I think you just keep trying until there are no other options.

Best of luck in all your endeavors to support your Mother...I know she appreciates it.

Deb
