I spoke with my new oncologist and after reviewing my case he determined that he had several treatment options for me. I was glad that he didn't just turn me away. I think his plan, if it works, would significantly improve my health and would put me back in a position where my cancer would be more manageable and that I would be able to go back to my normal routine of going to work and doing all the things that come with being a husband and a father.
There are some risks involved. I have some tests that I have to take and pass in order to even attempt this aggressive treatment. I really don't want to go into too much detail as to what we plan to do, since I have yet to take these tests. So far, I am very impressed with the knowledge and experience that these doctors have with my specific cancer. I am also pleased with the fact that I will be able to do my treatments in Alabama. I'll be able to do my chemo treatment in same facilities that I have used in the past and recuperate in between treatments at my home. I only have to return to Texas, every few months to be evaluated and discuss the next move. My new oncologist and my long time oncologist will work in tandem during this process. I just wanted to give everyone a quick update. I'll try and provide another update just as soon as I get the results back and hopefully prepare to begin treatments.
