Danny Boy,

I have been wondering where you have been lately. Haven't seen you post much, was getting worried and was going to e-mail you today to ask how you've been. Anyway, as I said before, you have my complete support, no matter what. In a small corner of my mind, I am disappointed you're not going to MDACC. In the reasonable, sane portion of my mind (if I have such a thing left!) I completely understand your decision. If in your shoes, I think I would have made the same choice.

And hey, the scan results are good! That's fantastic and it's a darn good reason to cancel @ MDACC. You can always go later if things change. And there are other places, maybe closer and covered by your ins, where you can get a second opinion if you still want one. All things considered, I think you made a good decision. Only one thing left to do...........kick this cancer in the you-know-what! laugh
