Hello @eileen61 Thank you for updating us. I am sorry to read of your diagnosis. I don't mean this to seem harsh, but I know in the case of my wife, the waiting for her diagnosis and changes, etc. were always harder than the times of taking action and knowing. Good luck with the approval from your insurance company for the proton beam treatment. It is amazing how fast medical science has progressed with these types of cancers. They didn't even have genetic tests when my wife was ill -- always a sign there is continued hope not only with the current therapies, but new ones we may not even be able to guess at today!

I also recall Mayo putting together a great interdisciplinary team for my wife's care. I trust yours will be too.

I wish you continued patience while you await the beginning of your treatments -- and strength, courage, and peace once they start.

Do you know when you'll be going back in Phoenix?
