the center i am going to is on the list.uw paul p carbone ccc. the doctor i was reffered to was greg hartig. i did some research on the center and the doctor. when surgery was first mentioned i refused. the mo and ro decided that some chemo followed by radiation and more chemo was an option. maybe not the best one though. after some consideration i agreed to make the trip to madison to see the dr. and hear what he has to say.
im not making any decisions until i have everything laid out in front of me.
my new motto is: "yesterday was the easiest one" borrowed from army air assault school.
it aint over til i say it is.
thanks guys. i will update as often as i can. in the meantime i have a lot of reading ahead of me.
