Thank you Jan, Gail, minniea,

We talked to our first doc and feel much better about the tumor boards plans. We should know by Tues a surgery date sometime within the next two weeks. The MO (I am getting the abrev. and lingo a little a day) should be one of the best docs there, we just did not get to meet him yet. So, do we take the longer drive to have the RO at the same place the MO is or do we use a closer faucility that is equally as good with equipment and also has fine RO's to save on time daily? That will be the next big decision. No mention of chemo yet, though I get the feeling anything is possible at this point. Gail, that trial sounds really promising for some time in the future. Any help and hope we can give our young folks so they don't have to go through this stuff.
