Saw U of M last Thursday. They are ready to schedule me in for surgery as soon as their schedule permits (within two weeks). I have been trying to get down to M D Anderson for a second opinion. Mostly about the radiation as a follow up to the surgery. U of M said they thought I would be best served by skipping radiation due to prior treatment and see how things went. MDA has a more advanced radiation department but I can�t seem to get an appointment.

I am going to schedule the procedure with U of M and see if MDA can�t get me in before that surgery just in case they have a different opinion.

Will be making lots of calls tomorrow
