Thanks, Dinah. I think at this point they feel that the trials were follow negative results from the currently scheduled treatment. Fortunately for us, we are in the Tampa Bay area and have Moffitt Cancer Center there and they are covered under our HMO. They do have a couple of trials and we did consult there so it the results are good with the rads/chemo guess that would be the next step.
