For those of you who have asked, we have been moving forward on seeing someone at MD Anderson for a second opinion on the treatment of the GBM. Our son, Steve, has a friend who's father is a neurosurgeon in Ohio and he has a friend who is a neurosurgeon at MD Anderson. Well, through their diligent efforts, we have made progress on getting an appointment to confirm that the treatment plan we have is a good one. Today I requested that the pathology tissue samples be sent to MD Anderson for review. After MD Anderson receives the samples, we can schedule an appointment. I have all of the records and MRI films that we will take for the appointment and I am to call next week after Marc is discharged to schedule the appointment. We think we are going in the right direction but it never hurts to double check. The oncologist that we have trained at MD Anderson and follows their protocols, so we feel pretty good about it; on the otherhand we are glad to get an appointment to either confirm or dispute the treatment plan.
More on Monday after the surgery . . .
