Pete had a rough night last night. He said the pain made sleep difficult, but this morning he's doing better and so has been making calls, sending faxes and is now picking up the DVDs of his CT scans and dropping off paperwork to his employer.
Chemo is scheduled for next Wednesday. He made an appointment with a pain management specialist. I think he said it was for the following week, but I'm not certain about the actual date.
He made a call to the sarcoma specialist, Dr. R, at Beth Israel CC for a second opinion. They told him as soon as he has the results/report of the biopsy of his original tumor from MSKCC he can make an appointment for the next day.
We sent an email to the cryoablation specialist, Dr. L, in Detroit to find out what additional information needs to be submitted along with the CT scans for assessment to determine if Pete is a candidate for the proceedure.
Not wanting to leave any stone unturned, we'll make copies of the CT DVDs and send out to the RFA specialist in north Jersey, and also to a radiation oncologist, but I don't know if he has a specific doctor picked out. I don't know if the radiation oncologist who treated him after the brain tumor was removed is the one he'll choose to go to.
Moving forward sure feels better than going backward or standing still.
