My case is going to the tumor board on Monday 6/5

Rick Jervis called me on Thursday to let me know that my case is going to be discussed by the tumor board this coming Monday, which is great news. This is like a round table conference where they have doctors from oncology, radiation oncology, surgery, etc that discuss your case and course of treatment and make recommendations. It's so exciting for me becuase I know that planning as a team generally has a better outcome than planning solo, so when you can have several experts looking at your situation together, each with their own specialty, there is a likelihood of a greater outcome. So, I'm excited. I'm especially excited to hear what they have to say regarding surgery and their recommended procedure for that.
I feel so grateful for Dr. Luke Dreisbach who is a christian and is my oncologist. Wow. Again, just God's placing people with such expertise in valuable places who belong to Him.
