David,

Thank you for speaking with me! We have an appointment with MD Anderson on the 2nd of September to stay 3-5 days to begin with and longer if needed. Lois has decided this is the best route to take and I will be able to go with her and stay through her treatment. Hopefully she can get started right away.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to respond to all my questions.
Cheryl aka Brick
