Thank you Mary. I saw my radiation oncologist today who gave me the official news. On a sad note, my doctor is leaving the hospital in July, I said, "I'm coming with you", but he is going out of state, so I won't be seeing him after July, but have an appointment then, and is going to give me his contact numbers incase I need anything. A real shocker!

Fabulous news on the NED Paul. It was all worth the effort and angst.
I'm sure you will develop a good rapport with the new Dr, but I know it's disconcerting. I'm sure you will bring him up to speed.

Thanks Tammy. I have the radiation oncologist, same hospital system, who did my Proton therapy who will probably take over my care. I see him in a few weeks as follow-up also.
