Staples removed

We are just back from having the staples removed by Dr. Gutin's nurse.
She was urging B to give Dr. O a chance as he is very good and she and
Dr. G. have utmost confidence in him.  Barbara seemed to go along with
that.   The neuro-oncolgist that we dealt with at NYU is Deborah Gruber who
seems to be pretty good also.  Our choosing Sloan-Kettering over NYU was
in fact based on the relative experience of the surgeons but we are now
done with the surgeons, and are in the treatment regime.  I think trying to
go to Columbia up at 168th St.for treatment would be too much of a strain
on Barbara who is and will be feeling poorly.

A central figure now is likely to be the radiation oncologist --- Timothy
Chan ---whom we'll see next Tuesday.  I suppose it would be best to wait
till then before making any attempt to change things.  There is no guarantee
that we could improve the situation that way.  And, by all accounts, we are
in the good place with one of their top  guys.

We'll just try to relax these next few days and await what is next while I try
to read a bit more.
