My Father just had a pacemaker placed yesterday and I also just returned back to work so I am juggling a bit. I had IMRT and Erbitux simultanously. 3 weeks later I had the brachy. The rods were in place for 5 days then I was all finished. It healed up quickly for me. If you see Dr. Harrison or his Fellow, Dr. Berlach please give them my regards. Please let me know how your appointments go and stay positive. All the best, Cindy

Dec 8, 2015 passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones How Cindy wants to be remembered..."I want people to realize I am no longer trapped in this body prison, and I will be free and whole. I want to be remembered by all the good and loving times spent together, not in sadness." |
