Paul,
Glad to hear that you will be going to Dana Farber, wonderful people there. I think that you will be very happy with Dr. Norris, he is a straight shooter and makes himself very available to his patients. When my friend met him she knew she was in the right place. They will give you a LOT of information on your first visit, so it would probably be helpful to have one or two other people with you- just to help you digest the information (and an extra brain, or two, to remember it all).
I wish you all the best, keep in touch.
Liz
