Thanks for the quick response! Yes, maybe UC Davis / Stanford would be a good choice. She has a tough time going to San Francisco [only support is her husband who had a stroke] and I am in Minnesota...the geographics make it tough. But the drive from Napa area to Sacramento is a bit easier. And to Old Frack what an experience you have been through. I did take Mom to the Mayo Clinic here in MN - they said not resectable also but we are still hoping. Mom is only 60! She has "dial up" and is looking into high speed internet so she can get active on the forum. Thanks!
