On Friday, Brian will have his 1st chemo session done through an IV for 4 hours....yikes! A combo of 'carboplatin and taxol' so wish him luck on that. The doctor didnt indicate any harsh side-effects but we'll see.
Overall, we feel blessed to have the best of the best of cancer treatment in Southern CA. We were able recently to get in touch with a stage IV melanoma survivor who lives in Denver, CO and he had to FLY out here for treatment but he's healthy and has a wife and two little girls....great guy.
That's it from here. Tomorrow we meet with The City of Hope to see of they have anything up their sleeve (2nd opinion) and Thursday we meet with The Angeles Clinic for a 3rd opinion.
Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend.

You WILL win this fight!
Great idea, Anna! Thankyou so much for putting this together. I love that picture of the two of you in Ireland. You guys are doing ALL the right things and I'm sure that someday soon, we're gonna see one happy, cancer-free guy, and the two of you smiling ear to ear, just like that picture! Love you, Linda

This is a speed bump along the way, and Brian rides his mountain bike so well, that he will be back in the saddle soon..Lance Armstrong said it
