dr.'s update

We spent 5 hours today with the Oncologists at Hunterdon Medical Cancer Center. They were really good. They were very personalized, hands on and "to the point". We were only there for a consultation, but we were able to meet with both the oncologist, and the radiation oncologist. He went through another battery of tests, and have more scheduled for the days to come. It was to say the least, very mentally draining with a lot of information over load. Should he decide to stay at Hunterdon, his first Chemo treatment will be on the 21st. Next Tuesday we have a meeting with Sloan Kettering to see what path they would recommend, and to get a second opinion on his "slides".
Thoughts of Billy's sister Nancy weigh heavily on his mind and add a lot to his concern. But, his doctors and I are confident. They are projecting he will be taking chemo once every 2 weeks, for approximately 12 weeks. Then it is followed with 2 weeks of radiation every day. Then he is evaluated again...
as always, thank you for your prayers and support

B. Scott, Don Mason here. Just got word of your situation. Me and Vicki are in TR rooting for you. Much love and prayers coming from the south.
I figure it this way, you're up, down 1 run, bases juiced with 2 outs and there isn't a batter I'd rather have up (okay maybe Tommy Reed, but this is your story)and you shoot middle like always and win the damned game.
If or when you're up to it e-mail me at donmason@tomsrivereast.com and we can exchange phone numbers or I could put you on my smut list, and give you something to do.
Love ya,
Mase

Billy & Wendy,
Technology is amazing and thank you for this communication but I am also saying prayers the good old fashioned way hoping that the man upstairs still listens and keeps you on our team Earth and not his team Heaven! Love you,
