@silversurfer51: Happy birthday to you! I also have a milestone birthday coming up next week - my big birthday gift this year: a new hip! LOL.
I hope you get to go on your vacation and that you're pleased with your appointment with Dr. Doonan. I've heard only positive reports on him. I don't know if they can arrange treatment in conjunction with Advent; I've not heard of that type of arrangement but definitely something worth inquiring about. Great step in getting your portal set up.
There is a lot to consider when starting treatment for metastatic melanoma and obtaining a second opinion is a good way to start by exploring options; I'd done the same thing. You can also consult this guideline which may help, as put out by an organization I've found to be particularly helpful during my own journey: https://www.curemelanoma.org/patient-eng/ten-tips-for-people-just-diagnosed-with-melanoma/choosing-your-doctor
Am I correct that you're about a 90 minute drive to Jacksonsville?
