Thanks, Sand!       09/12/06 08:31 AM Edit Reply Quote atomic rose Reged: 06/01/04 Posts: 7013 Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!) I did mean to reply to you personally further down the thread. Dad seems pretty happy with his doctors so far - this is actually his second oncologist, his first was a Dr. Wu, and he didn't like him one bit - but this new oncologist seems good. He toyed with the idea of going to Sloan-Kettering, but he's done a ton of research (it's basically all he does in his free time now), and it seems that Sloan wouldn't really do anything differently than what his current team of doctors are doing. Still, I will keep you in mind if he suddenly decides he wants a third/fourth/etc opinion... because he might, depending on how the chemo goes. I'm having an especially hard time with this because a friend of mine lost her father to stomach/liver cancer. They tried chemo on him, but it wasn't long before they sent him home with a prescription for morphine "to make him more comfortable", and a month later he was gone. I do have to keep reminding myself that that was 15 years ago, and they HAVE made advances in treatment in that time. Chemo isn't the same as it was back then. So yes, I'm fighting to be optimistic about this. Thank you again, Sand. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
