U of M called back today and let me know they want me in on Friday for a consult. I will be going to the Radiation Oncology department and the doctor I spoke to said they are planning daily radiation plus chemo.

Having been radiated before I know this is going to be a tricky proposition but I think I am in the best of hands so I'll just have to wait and see what the details of this approach is on Friday.

I hope the technology has moved forward enough with re-radiating tumor areas that I won't have to much additional damage done to my neck and throat. I'll check in with Charm on this as he may know something about the latest advances.

I'll try and post an update after the meeting on Friday.

Best to all and thanks again for all the good wishes.
