Hug yourself and Al for me. Honey this is just so much for you to handle. I understand the fighting tooth and nail part, get a second opinion pronto. Stupid doctor is right!!!

She is right. Get a second and third opinion. I have had friends who have had different diagnosis about the same condition.

And Deb? Tell Al that tumor size doesn't mean much.. Faster growing, larger tumors are usually more succiptible to treatment that diffuse smaller ones!

Why is that, are they more unstable or something?

exactly! Fast growing large tumors are usually poorly defended because their energy is put towards growth rather than cellular stability.

Sort of like playing Command and Conquer Generals with the strategy of building a large base without adequate frire bases and Patriot missle systems and a few snipers fro infantry.

Of course you would have to play the game in order to know what I was talking about. Otherwise, I come off sounding like some sort of techno nut.
