The only bad thing is it is a 2 hour drive one way, but I know it will be worth it. Since I have seen my oncologist and the surgeon that did the surgery and they did not help

Many Hugs and Prayers

    where is she located? I bet what you learn from her will be well worth the drive! Especially after going 3 years with bad information! Have you spoken to her and asked if she knows of someone closer? I look forward to hearing how the meeting goes! Enjoy your weekend!

    Jackie,

    I'm so happy for you. This will change your life! Don't worry about drive - I drive almost that for treatments and for 5 weeks that was everyday. You will find the drive worth it, I'm sure, and you do get used to it.
