Well, another day of Ups & Downs. As you can guess from previous posts, we were unhappy with our current doctor/staff. We decided since the "games" are just beginning we needed to get a second opinion &/or another doctor we would be comfortable with before going any further. After much soul searching, research & recommendations, we saw Dr. Aleda Toma today. Let's just say, John liked Dr. Toma and staff immediately and they seem to be on top of things.
We didn't come away with any other diagnosis after the biopsy, but at least with a better feeling for the days ahead about what to expect and how things will be handled. Although, had to have another "discussion" with our insurance and after getting his employer involved, his IV chemo is still scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. He's adjusting well to the oral chemo now also. Our prayer is that the dual chemos will at least shrink the tumor(s) so that he will be able to eat, gain weight back, & enjoy life for whatever time is allowed. God willing!
