Hello Bart:

Sorry it took so long to respond to yesterday's good news. I read your post late afternoon, but was running late to Friday night swing dance club get together. You would probably enjoy the oldies, all good swing dance tunes and a happy group of people who love to dance. We had 106 people last night, down from the usual 160 (our biggest crowd ever 250). I think there is an early Arkansas Razorback football game today they have to get up early and drive to (sorry, ended sentence with participle, bad grammar).

Enough about them, this thread is about you. I like that radiation beads treatment idea, reminds me of what they use in prostrate cancer treatment. That they can put rad source right next to tumor seems to really be the way to go, max dosage to tumor, minimum to everything else. While I like the idea for oral cancer, it seems having to maybe go in through a carotid might have more risks than reward. I suppose I have the same worry about going in through the femoral. Oh well, sometimes risk has to be taken.

"salud, dinero, amour y tiempo para gustarlo" (to health, wealth and love and the time to enjoy them).

Have a great weekend Bart.
Tony
