Kelly,

Somehow, your reply and distinction between recurrence and radiation resistance is hartenting.

I do have a contact at Stanford Cancer Center that I got a second opinion back in april. He does nothing else bit this kind of cancer.

I don't want to delay treatment, but I should probably see him.
