Bingo, jb2buckwater!

Thanks for that, and would be happy to hear more at some point if you're willing.

I'm also glad to hear it was at Rochester, not Phoenix. I did not get a very warm* or encouraging reception when I tried to get some help there this past summer.
*Make that "congenial": it was over 100⁰ degrees every day! 🙂

Joecontheroad,

Yes, Rochester... cold as heck in December - January, but worth the trip from Portland, OR where we live. No Proton Beam in Oregon. Team in Rochester were amazingly supportive... A+ Team. Reassuring, supportive, friendly... can't say enough. Locals call it Minnesota Nice. The campus is huge with 4500 MDs and new buildings going up all over the place. A national treasure... even at -23 F degrees.

Best wishes for successful journey.
