Hello All,

There has been a change in my treatment plan. Before I go into that I wanted to Thank All who responded to my earlier post about MD Andarson.
It's very humbling to have so many members pulling for me.

MD Anderson wanted to see the report of the MRI I had last Monday the 18th. The report showed minimal change in the original operative bed. The cancer hasn't grown enough to warrent a change in treatment. MD Anderson told me they would be treating me the same as I am being treated here in Wisconsin. I am receiving Carboplatin & Taxol once a week for three weeks followed by a week off. I will be receiving this until the end of the year. In January I will receive another scan.
MD Anderson would have seen me if the scan had shown growth or distint metastasis. The scan showed none of this.
Just for your information MDACC needs a $5,000.00
deposit for four consulation's. About $17,000.00 for a 7 day evaluation and if treatment would follow anywhere from $40,000.00 to $60,000.00 for that. That would all be out of pocket. My insurance pays almost 100% of my treatment here.
After thinking about all the options I have deceided to stay in Wisconsin and receive my treatment here.
I hope you can understand my decision and not think of me as giving up. It was a decision I made in my and my family's interest.

Thanks for supporting me, Danny Boy
