Thanks for the advice. This really is the GREATEST forum. I have been going on colon cancer forums and they are just not the same great people that are on here. I don't know why but it's definitely true.

I went to MD Anderson today and stayed there two hours getting my stuff together. My doctor had faxed it but they hadn't even gotten it together or to a doctor to review yet. I was lucky to come across the "head lady of paperwork" or whatever who was in answering some questions at the greetings desk. She helped organize my stuff as she could tell I was anxious to get into their treatment facility. I ended up with an appt. - YAY. It's not until Nov. 17th - that's how backed up they already are after only opening a few weeks ago. But that's okay because I am supposed to be on rest for the month after my 12-day hospital stay from Sept. 5 to the 17th. I have a PET scan scheduled for the 27th of October so they will have a current PET scan to come up with a treatment plan or a no treatment plan. I am already with Hospice so I may not have further chemo treatment, but I'll do what the doctors at MD Anderson suggest as they have such a great reputation.

Thanks again, Barbara
