All good information. You guys made me Feel better at least that there is hope. Did any of you go for a second opinion. I fully trust the doctor he goes to. He trained at mayo and encouraged us to get a second opinion if we wanted. Sounds like he is doing the same treatment they do there. I did read about a new treatment but his doctor said that is for advanced. Save it if he needs in the future. Again thank you all.
