Thanks all for the fast replies. We won't know the full plan until next week. We are in east central Indiana - after reviewing the CCC's posted - we aren't close to any. Our option is treatment in our hometown of approximately 40,000 or to go to Indianapolis (1 1/2 hr. away - read more specialists/better hospitals) We'll make the drive. H's teeth are in bad shape. We weren't surprised that they need extraction first. Treatments will be 5 days on, 2 off. Don't know any more than that about the plan at this point except for the two treatments each day during last half of course of treatment. I just had never heard of two treatments in one day before. The big push seems to be that this has moved slowly right after diagnosis due to the holidays .
