Bob- Two pairs of eyes are better than one, so if you need additional support as a caretaker you might want to at least glance at Connect's caretaker support group

Thanks Merry, Liz has a physical therapist and a nurse who checks up on her once a week.

The biopsy confirmed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and they will be going after the lesions in her brain first with 2 weeks of radiation treatment and then the cancer in the remaining organs with chemo. The oncologist will be DNA/Genome testing the cancer to see if Liz qualifies for targeted treatment versus generic chemo. We have been waiting on Insurance approval since Monday to start the treatments and I will be calling the insurance company tomorrow to see what the hold up has been....... Should be a no-brainer......
