Hi There!
Just an update on todays meeting with the Medical Oncologist (thanks for that Lupo)
Dr. Corey Langer is wonderful, brilliant and very human.
After an extensive conversation it seems a though we have come up with a treatment plan.

Both Langer and Rengan fell the best course of treatment will begin immediately, as in Monday.
He will be under Dr Rengans care for Gamma Knife radiation aimed at reducing teh size and controlling the tumors in the brain.
This is a one session treatment and can be followed by additional treatments if necessary.

SImultaneously, Dr Langer will treat dean with systemic chemotherapy. This will target the cancer cells in the remainder of the blood.

The radiation will begin on Monday, and will require 5 days of time for 6 weeks.
The Chemotherapy will begin next friday, the good news is that although a higher dose, they’ll space them out every three weeks!!!!!
It looks like we will go 6 cycles-done just in time for summer!!

We are very comfortable with he doc’s at HUP. We will begin treatment and send Deans films off for a second and third opinion. Probably Sloane and MD Anderson.
Dean is in good spirits, I am bushed.
Heading to bed…
More tomorrow
