WOW! Thanks for the update @sneakypete. Glad the problem has finally been tracked down and the doctors attacking it. Sounds like they have made a LOT of progress in treating that type of cancer recently and that's great to hear.
@Bigun No kidding. A local elderly woman I swap books with was still getting chemo when I met her. She told me that when she was first diagnosed 5 years earlier she was told there was no cure for that form of cancer,but they would give her chemo and hope to extend her time.
In less than a month a breakthrough had been announced,and her local docs started that treatment. She had her cancer port taken out of her shoulder about 6 months ago after having been found cancer-free and cured.
