He gave me my options: full chemo, radiation, or the study that's being done on the combination of both. Dr. Miller thinks the study looks very attractive because we will get the benefits of both without too much of either. So that's what we're going with. Like I said, this study is new with around 100 studied so far. Dr. Miller is printing it out for me and I'll have it in hand soon. I'm excited to be part of something progressive in the study on cancer.
The doctors office has submitted everything to my insurance company and that approval process has taken around 48hours in the past. After approval, I will have an appointment with a nurse to go over the logistics of the chemotherapy and then next week I will receive my single-dose of Chemotherapy, Carboplatin to be specific.

Russ,
Every docotor has different plans of attack and I can say your docotor is very good to giive you the 3 options. At that point it is your call and you are in control of what you want to do.
I wish you all the best and I will be rooting for you all the way. I also expect to see you at the Summit ;-) in July. Beer or other drinks on me!
