David,

Thanks for updating us on your progress. You're right about not feeling "ready for all of this". Too often with this illness you find yourself confronted with some immediate decisions about things you probably never heard of, or never knew much about before. At least it's good that you have a unanimous recommendation from your tumor board.

Best wishes and prayers as you go through this round -- I hope it puts an end to your cancer once and for all. Be careful with your nutrition and pain management as you go along -- it's really important to help get you through it. (And remember we're here for you when you need it.)
