Barbara has been to Ottawa twice to the Cancer Clinic. The chemo oncologist feels chemo is not an option, "the risks far outweigh the benefits because of the MS. So it looks like radiation. We have a second appointment with Dr. Kendal (radiologist)on Feb 18. Many thanks to friends and family for helping with ideas and suggestions we are ready (as much as one can be) and armed with questions. Nancy W sent an email telling us of a Tumour Board/Committee who will review your case if you are dissatisfied with your options. We are also going to contact Dr. Freedman MS nuerologist to get him on board and his opinion and I am going to send an email to my cousin who is a radiation oncologist in Chertsy near Surrey in England. Not sure how he can help but it doesn't hurt to cover all our bases.
