Gail,

I cant speak for anyone else but,

I am shooting for 90.

Hell, I would be happy with 44.

Every day is a gift after this terrible disease.
I wish you and your family the best. DF is a great hospital and they certainly know what they are doing. That being said, if you feel uncomfortable at any point, you should seek other opinions. Your don't want to spend the rest of your days wondering. It worked for me. I looked into-10 hospitals after diagnosis. I know that no matter what happens, in my mind, I made the right decision.

God bless.
-Robert
