Gary - thank you so much for the quick response to my posting. It does help to be able to chat with those that have gone through or are currently going through, the same thing as I am. Needless to say, it brings life as you know it to a stand still.

I did meet with the Tumor Team at Stanford Cancer Center in November for a second opinion, confirmation of the diagnosis and their treatment recommendations. Everything I already had been told was confirmed and they suggested that radiation be held for now. Since it is considered systemic and very aggressive at this point they said we needed to go after it aggressively with chemotherapy. If there is response from the chemo and the tumors shrink, then they would discuss radiation.
