I've been on vacation but your surgery and recovery have not been out of my mind. Glad your surgery went well and are now going to the very best for further treatment options. While I know nothing of Houston, I'm not certain that 61st and 1st in mid July (Sloan)except for the many restaurants in the neighborhood, isn't any better than Houston, weatherwise. I wouldn't let the weather determine where I go. On the other hand, if these centers can set up your treatment so you can have it in CA and have your dog and friends, without jeopardizing the outcome, I would go for it. Just make certain that the treatment will be equivalent.
Are they recommending IMRT, I can't remember.
Take care,
Eileen
