Hi Michael --

Maybe call or fax your doctor and try to describe what you are seeing. He may be able to recommend a colleague locally who could look at you and report back to him --

Having said that, there is a reason that you and Barry are not seeing your doctors until November (and at Hopkins, they will not even evaluate the results of his treatment until two months' out) is that (per our RO) "lots of weird little swellings pop up and there's irritations and scar tissue and frankly, we don't want to be upset and have you upset by what is only inflammation..."

Of course you are already upset frown so I think you will feel better if you run this by the doctor...

Gail
