I am so sorry to hear your news, Kelly, but let me say one thing: If all of the doctors I have seen knew 1/4 of the things you know and researched, I would respect them and be confident of their opinions/solutions. That is not the experience I have had and I would definitely "get out of Dodge" if I had a recurrence. I know this doesn't help your situation, but you are one heck of a guy, and I pray that YOU make the right decisions and you survive. I will keep watching for your updates, and am making notes, just in case.
