Mayo Clinic Visit June 11, 2007

Monday, June 11th, I saw Dr. McDonough at The Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL.

We had a 3 hour visit. He was very attentive and had thoroughly gone through my records. After looking at my scans with another Gastro-Oncologist, they told me they thought I had 3 options at this point. They saw 3, possibly 4 lung nodules in the left lung and saw the paraesophogeal mass.

Option 1. Radio Frequency Ablation to the lung nodules.
Option 2. Nexavar with Adriamycin chemo regimen.
Option 3. Monitor with scans.

I will see the radiation oncologist in a week or so at Mayo to talk about the Radio Frequency Ablation possibilities.

In the meantime I will see the new oncologist here in Tallahassee, Dr. Amanze, on Thursday.

We've made no decisions at this point. Of course I will keep everyone posted.

Take care everyone~
Kelly
