Friday - April 24th -- Dana Farber!

    Two of my dearest friends -- Julie (Thibodeau) Bedard and Patty (Riley) Thibodeau will be taking me into Boston for a 3 hour - Second Opinion Team Meeting.  I love these girls and we've been friends for over 50 years!

    Although, I am very pleased with my treatment options and Lahey Oncology/Brain Team -- It will NEVER hurt to do this too.   Although I have opted NOT to have ANY brain surgery based on the opinion of the Lahey Team.   The risks NOW outweigh the benefits!

   We will go with the Radiation we are already preparing for!   And I think that will be followed with Chemo with Dr. Rajitha Sunkara, MD at Lahey Gloucester!   I loved her and was VERY Impressed, as was my Mom.
