Update

A lot of things are starting to happen in a short period of time. Foremost I made an oncology decision with much help from resources locally and in Arizona. I am going to start my chemo here with Dr. Dobovsky of Atlanta Cancer Care. The place to be for pancreatic cancer treatment is with Dr. Daniel Von Hoff at the Arizona Cancer Center in Phoenix. He and his team develop what is now the standard of care in this arena. His staff recommended that as early in my cancer as I am, I should start with the traditional treatments *(that they developed) and then plan to consult with them later regarding targeted treatments and/or clinical trials. I am waiting to here from Dr. Dobovsky but I assume I will start in about 3 weeks. I also start with a physical trainer on Monday. This is the point I have to admit where it starts getting very real for me. I approach the next few weeks with a degree of trepidation. I will keep the blog going and will also look for all of your comments in return. Today is massage and acunpuncture. Cool, huh?
