    another opinion
    Will definitely pray for you both and for the new team of docs that they can make a huge difference in her care. Good for you in seeking another viewpoint and other experience. Keep us posted.

    Good luck on the 13th. One
    Good luck on the 13th. One thing this disease does do is teach us patience as we wait for scan results and dr. Appts. Lisa

    appointment changed
    they changed her appointment to Oct. 20....was not happy. Called and told them about it, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes.

    Call them back
    And let them know that if they get a cancellation you would like that appointment. It never hurts and I've been lucky a couple of times (not always)that way.
    Thinking of you both.
