?????

I'm still confused. Well, confused isn't the right word exactly. We don't know yet if I'm going to have radiation or not. Jimmy talked with Dr. Lonial today (they've been extremely busy because of the Labor Day weekend) and Dr. Lonial is leaning toward NOT doing the radiation, but he wants to have another conversation with the radiation oncologist before he decides for sure. He said, and I quote, that the last PET scan looked "fantastic".

I appreciate their caution, but because of the area they would be irradiating, I could have some unpleasant long term side effects. I think that's where we are: weighing the benefits against the risks.

We're still in Highlands.
