Rachel’s methotrexate level was okay this morning so she was cleared to go home.

We got a call from the oncologist in Boston this evening. Now they are saying they want to do 5 weeks of radiation up front, 4-5 weeks of recovery, then surgery, another 3-4 weeks of recovery, followed by 1-2 more weeks of radiation. We are more confused than ever. Yesterday none of the doctors wanted to put off surgery past June and now they’re all saying putting it off until July/August is just as good and will allow Rachel to attend both prom and graduation. While we’re grateful that she’ll be able to attend graduation, we’re wondering why the change from yesterday and is this really the best approach as far as a cure is concerned?

We’re still waiting for a start date for radiation, but they said probably in 2-3 weeks.
