Thank you, Gary. The more information I have, the better. I've realized from your recent posts just how knowledgable you are about treatment options. I appreciate you sharing that expertise.

The whole area that is erupting in small tumors is the very area radiated a year ago. I guess that's why I'm so alarmed that that's where the most cancer activity seems to be. When the surgical incision from last month failed to heal in that area initially, I blamed it on previous radiation, and I even thought that might be why the skin graft wasn't taking. Obviously, it's not healing because there's so much cancer in that area. I had no idea it could grow this fast. It's scarier than I imagined. We knew docs planned more chemo (from this past October to December, Scott had 2 rounds of Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and 5 FU, but they really did a number on his blood counts so they switched him to Methatrexate; he had two rounds of that from December to January just before surgery ) and we knew that more radiation was dependent upon what kind of radiation he had before at the previous facility. But...we thought that would happen as a safe-guard, not because they had no choice due to mets only one month post-surgery.
