back on the bus...
The back door of a sweet mexi-bus.... San Francisco, 2010
Tomorrow I go in for an EUS at RUSH. (FYI: EUS exams suck...). Then, Thursday I head to NYC to meet with Dr. Reidy at Sloan Kettering. Basically, I'll be consulting her about my options. I'm looking for a third party opinion. Sloan is not particularly known for their PNET work, but Dr. Reidy has proven to me to be a "smart cookie" with honest intentions. Frankly, the "US NET experts" have been less than impressive. (i.e., Mt. Sinai, LSU, Iowa, Etc.... I exclude UNMC in this category because they don't explicitly claim to be NET experts, just damn good surgeons and people...).
Once I have some more info and advice, I'll take the next step. It's going to be chemo, inhibitor drugs, surgery, or a combo of sorts. None of the options are great.... and I really like my hair. As before, I feel fine. I've never felt sick. I only feel bad after I'm sliced, diced, drugged, poked and prodded. I'd probably be better off just eating my vegetables and taking my chances.
