signet ring cell
Hi, Janet
My name is Pat and I am also stage 4 with the signet ring cell. I too went to MDA and saw Dr. Kee. I was just wondering, if you don't mind, if you could tell me what doctor your mother saw on your visit? Thanks

Sorry for the delay in responding!!!
We say Dr Renato Lenzi. We did not pick him, we were assigned after faxing all of her info over. We liked him very much, He is a man of few words (which my mom loved but as a nurse I want all the info I can get), but he was very patient and answered any questions we had, went over the CT pics very thoroughly and gave a good description. We were blindsided by the cancer diagnosis. No family history. Anyway, she sees Dr Marisa Sandera here in San Antonio who is coordinating with Dr Lenzi. My mom had her first chemo 03AUG09 and will have her third 31Aug09. We will return to MDA 06OCT09 for tests then get results from Dr Lenzi 09OCt09. Nervous and hopeful.
How are you doing? Getting treatment? Support?
You will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping the best for you.
Janet
