    Thank you everyone. Lots of information to look into and digest. I appreciate all of you and thank you for sharing.

    White counts were up today so I did have chemo today- round 3 done!

    Thanks again,

    Hi Lainy –

    I am about an hour and a half from Rochester. A town called New Prague. Fortunate we have a Mayo hospital here as well, so will be heading there shortly to hopefully get chemo today – never thought I would be saying “hopefully” and “chemo” in the same sentence!

    Will check back in later today. Thanks ~ hope you all have a good day.

    Thank you Julie and Lainy,

    Just to be clear, I DID have surgery and a large tumor, my gall bladder and 4 lymph nodes were removed, 3 of which were cancerous. My surgery took place at Mayo in Rochester, MN. My post surgery scans and then biopsy were also done in Rochester. My primary oncologist is out of Mayo Rochester as well. I live out-state MN, so I have a local oncologist who over sees the administration of the chemo. I am scheduled to go back to Rochester for another set of scans after 6 chemo treatments.

    Where the heck does one go for a 2nd/3rd opinion? I realize there are options, but again, would appreciate input what others have done. I know I can call Rochester and talk to my primary, which I plan on doing, but before doing so, I wanted advice from you folks.

    Thanks for this board – it took me a while to post, but I have been following various threads for a while now. I appreciate all the information.

    Kris
