Eileen,

We are in the process of getting second opinions,

We have contactred MD Anderson, they should have an answer for us in a week on my mom's case.

Sloan Kettering and Hopkins is next on the list.


As for the time, 6 months, I asked on my own. I dont think he was planning on telling us, and the 6 months is based on "patients" at my mom's stage who are no longer able to recieve further treatment.

We have an appointment next month and My mom will be strong enough to try a treatment or two. She has increased her Cal intake from 1000 to 1500 and by this weekend she should be at 2000, in 3 weeks she should be able to convince the doc on another treatment or solution...

the world brought me to my knees...
