Both the NYU neuro-oncologist and the head of brain
surgery at Sloan-Kettering concur that Barbara has a
brain tumor. They both feel that a biopsy is needed and
pretty soon at that, as the object is beginning to be active.
We have to decide whether that should be done by a bright
young surgeon at NYU or the head of brain surgery at S-K.
Unfortunately I missed part of the phone conversation B.
had with the NYU doctor but got the impression that they
wanted to get a piece of the object at NYU. B. does not
remember very well what was said, so I am not so sure
this is correct.
The S-K guy said that he felt this was a delicate region and
would simply open up a hole and look in with a microscope.
Barbara does not remember this either so it can be taken
as certain, though I am pretty sure this is what he said.
Barbara has decided to go with the Sloan-Kettering doctor and that she is waiting to hear about scheduling.
