Hi there. Thank you for replying. He has had two surgeries so far and the tumor has been debunked by about 90%. He is in the midst of a 6-week cycle of combined Temador and radiation and is currently in week 4. The doctor has only given him the options of surgery, chemo and radiation. I don't know that there is anything better but I just want him to have all of the information in order to make the most informed decisions that he can. I had a victory at lunch time today with him. He has agreed to seek a second opinion from a doctor at Mayo as soon as this treatment cycle is completed! He said that way if it comes back, they will already be prepared to make recommendations for treatment. This was a major victory because up until now, he was staunchly against a second opinion. I felt very good about the conversation because it wasn't highly dramatic and I didn't put him on a guilt trip. 🙂 It was just a very calm discussion, full of mutual respect.
