2nd & 3rd opinionsViews: 32

i got the ball rolling to get second and third opinions for treatment at UW and swedish cancer institute. we are covering our bases. we trust the team at virginia mason whole heartedly, it just feels good that we are exploring the options. UW is remarkable, and we’ve heard that dr gold at swedish is amazing, and also runs the show in the research center for GI cancers. the team at virginia mason have done amazing work, and have treated angel wonderfully. the doctors, the fabulous nurses; robin, jenny, candace, lindsey, and specialists have been tops.

we have an appointment with dr. gold this thursday, and will hear back from UW soon. they might have different methods to attacking this cancer, or might concur with malpass and his team. either way, we are happy to hear their ideas/agreements.
