Marlene Thanks for the kind words.

Everyone: I finally got my treatment plan this morning.
Chemo this Saturday ; first of three weekly infusions of Carboplatin. (see my separate post where I am asking about Taxol being added as a "chaser" )
Then 5 more Cyberknifes starting next Friday October 5th and ending up on my birthday, the 11th. (when I will update my signature line to my new age)


My wife and I are so relieved to finally have the suspense over. Regular readers have probably deduced that I'm not a big fan of clinical trials which would have been my only alternative if they couldn't do a third round.
Another reason to go to a CCC, because many non CCCs think you can't do radiation twice let alone three times, while even the CCCs who don't feel comfortable doing it will recommend a place that does.
