Thank you all for your advice. Kathy, you and Kevin are such a comfort since you are just a few weeks ahead of us. We thought the yo yo was done with, but knowing what to expect and that things are "normal" (if any of this is normal) really helps. We are still being seen and have a call into the Dr. It was a 30 minute hold time so I think getting in today after a holiday will be rough. Pat has an appt next Tuesday but if the nurse feels he should be seen sooner than that we will jump all over it. Second opinions are always a must when you are not convinced you are getting the right results. After surviving BC twice, believe me, you tend to get aggressive. Good luck to you! I am sure he will be fine in Alaska!
