I'm sorry to hear this, vherzog. You're right that it is good that it was caught before it spread. Do you know what treatment is being suggested yet? Did they discuss going to a specialized cancer center?

They want to start him on an aggressive chemo treatment to try to shrink the tumor. If they can shrink it they will send him to Little Rock to remove it. It’s not a cancer center I don’t think but is a good hospital. I don’t believe they have the technology here even in Little Rock to help him if the tumor doesn’t shrink or doesn’t shrink enough. I’m trying to think ahead. At what point would I get ahold of Mayo for a second opinion? Now or if they tell me they can’t operate?
