                Heading off to sleep now. I'm wiped out. I should have the final protocol to report to all of you after I get a Pathology confirmation. Eric, tried to PM but you need to delete some. Promise I'll be more coherent tomorrow with some news.

                    Hi All,
                    Unfortunately, Fox Chase should've been bypassed so I could go directly to Sloan-Kettering. Now I have to go through the consult and review cycle all over again. It looks like I'll be on high doses of Taxol and Ifosfimide if I can ever get scheduled. In the mean time I'll have to pick up more slides and films tomorrow to go through the same process in NY on Friday (hopefully). Thankfully, I have all of you to keep me going. (An extreme special "Thank You" to Dadmo). I can't thank you all enough.
                    Much Love as always,
                    Mark

                                Mark,
                                I've scoured the literature enough to know that Sloan is on the leading edge of TC treatment. You are going to the right place.

                                Did dadmo offer his house again? His sincere willingness to open his home and help members in that way is amazing. Really really. I think that when you are cured..and you will be....we should all converge at Bill and Nancy's with beer and pizza to celebrate!
