Hello all, Just to update you. We visited with Dr. Charles Stewart at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa on Friday. We were very impressed at his knowledge of prostate cancer and its treatment and his ability to share that info with us. We have a much better knowledge of what's going on with this disease and it's possible treatments. After visiting with him and Dr. Cole (from Ohio) we feel that the best course to follow in this treatment begins with the horomones which Chris started on Jan. 5 and will get a high dosed shot on Tues. This shot will probable be a 3-4 month shot. After 50 days from the first pill he took, the radiation will begin. He will have 5 weeks of scattered radiation on the pelvic area and then 3 weeks concentrated on the prostate itself. After visiting with these doctors, we felt the surgery would not do a lot of good (5%) and the recovery time would slow starting the radiation.He will have chemo sometime after radiation is finished. When will be decided later. Our plans now would be to take our travel trailer down and be there Mon thru Fri and be home for the week-end, of course plans can always change. Continue to keep us in your prayers. We want to do some things before we begin therapy so we're taking suggestions...up to a point...ha love you all
