Thanks to everyone for their best wishes, advice, etc… It is most appreciated. We actually were able to get an appt at yale with a specialist named Dr Saif. Although I was unable to go to that appt due to work, my mom and sis in law said that he was very compassionate, as was everyone else at the center. In one week he had her full body CT scan done, Bone scan, Biopsy scheduled for Friday, Port put in on Monday, followed by her first round of Chemo. He will be starting with Gemzar. Has anybody else out their been treated with this?? Wondering about the side effects etc…. Oh and also anyone have any suggestions on self help books relating to being a caregiver of a person with cancer?? Thanks for all of your help, it is much appreciated!!
