I'm on my way to my Kaiser 2nd opinion (see photo view from my car!).
I called COH and they have an opening tomorrow. So, today is my 2nd
opinion and tomorrow is my 3rd. That's great because it means that I
can probably start treatment soon.
Also, I spoke with my chemotherapy pharmacist. He told me that my
doctor has prescribed something that they call FOLFOX. It is
Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin, Fluorouracil, and Avastin.

Wow….I can’t believe the progress you’ve made in fighting this battle. I can certainly see by the great postings from your family where you got the terrific disposition and always positive outlook. You’ve had so many hoops to jump through and are taking them all like a champ….and being so very techno geek doing so!! Love the picture from the car! We love being able to see your progress and I’ve ALWAYS preached that you are your own best advocate and especially more so when surrounded by family that is helping to coordinate with you. I can’t tell you how many people stop by or call to ask how you are doing and we’ve been sharing your blog url with them. It’s great to see that some of the people that I’m sure you have always been so generous with, just by your nature, are able to assist you now, like Tuan. It’s pulling all those resources together to get as much information collectively to head down the path to wellness, and we know you can do it! Keep it up and we wish best always; and we miss your smiling face!
Thanks Mel. I'm hearing that chemo will take a couple of days every 2 weeks, so I'm hoping to be working. I totally miss you guys. Please give Stephanie a big thank you from me. She must be working very hard.
Tim we would just like to second what Melanie said. You are your own best advocate !! You have that loving personality , that just brings everyone together and makes them all want to be around you. You do have a fight ahead , but you have alawys been a winner, just look at your beautiful wife Robyn, and precious Erika. The career your have carved for you and your family. You are a winner!!! You still have a hill to climb, but we know you will reach the top, and win this battle, this war. Our hearts are warmed to see all of the support you are getting from your fellow colleages and friends. Your entire family is and always has been so proud of you.
