@tallyteresa My oncologist is Mayo Clinic trained, and practiced there for several years before moving out here to Oregon. I drive 115 miles each way to see him and his practice is highly regarded. I am not part of any clinical trial or group study at this time. I also have chronic kidney disease stage 3B due to an extremely rare condition, plus fibromyalgia and systemic lupus, so hearing the diagnosis was not the first time my breath was taken away medically. I have made serious inroads on maintaining my stress levels to be as low as possible. I find that that helps a lot, along with good diet, reasonable exercise and keeping a positive attitude.
