Will be looking for you tomorrow. I am really stressed about the operation and will be good to meet someone who has been there and done it. You seem to be doing very well. As I said, my appointment is at 8:30 so will be looking for you when I am finished with the doctor. I will need to go to presurgery testing afterwards but at least we can meet and say a few words. I will be wearing brown pants and beige shirt. Don't know what my husband has planned.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have decided for the surgery. Just read back through my posts but thanks for the advice. It backs up my decision and I know I have made the right one. Not looking forward to surgery though. It is scheduled for Sept. 5.

You have one life and with 4 tumors and the other treatments not really working I personally wouldn't wait too long before I made a decision. I would hate for things to get worst and then have you go back and say if only I had gotten that RC done earlier. It is your life and I wish you the best and hope you make the right decision. Joe

balihigh... which mobile home park? we live about 50mi from NYC and drive in and out a lot (until my R/C).
Maybe you're going to be near us?
FYI, Sloan Kettering has a New Jersey campus in Basking Ridge and perhaps you can do some appointments there

When we left the hospital following my RC my husband hired a limo it was one of the kindest things he ever did for me. It was not as expensive as one would think.
Good luck and keep us posted when you can.
