Dear Dan, It's good to have a plan! I think it's hopeful, time-wise, that your doc is scheduling tests to "see where things stand." Scott's docs didn't bother ordering tests because they knew he only had a few weeks after that third recurrence. Up-front and honest is best. I'm glad you and your doc seem to be on the same page. Stay stubborn!!!   Christine
