Met with Dr Y today. Gave us a great and confirming second opinion. He explained that there is a 90% chance of cure when using combo chemo and radiation. ABVD (the chemo treatment regiment) has been used for the last 50 years with much success. We feel ready to move forward now that we are confident on the direction to take to kick this thing.
What is next you may ask yourself? We are scheduling a port placement and a consultation with the radiologist oncologist. Yeah!
We just ask for continued prayers and good vibes for the port procedure, and patience with the chaotic scheduling of appointments (so thankful for such a flexible work situation and amazing wife).
Like in the olympics- we are "on our mark."
