Thank you for comments! I can't tell you how good it felt to wake up to your notes...to know that there is a group of people out there that are available to help me through this. You are all amazing and I hope that I can be a source of support, hope, and encouragement as well.

We are researching CCC's and will def. reach out for a second opinion. My dad's doctor is very supportive of this. During his second recurrence, his doctor talked to another doctor at Sloan Kettering (where my brother was interning) and this conversation actually changed to course of the surgery. So yes, thank you for the guidance and we certainly will make sure we get as much input as possible for this next course of treatment.
