Change in direction

Sorry for the lack of updates but we have been doing alot of researching and consulting with "experts". It gets more challenging the higher you go in this game.

Yesterday's CEA showed an increase to 244 from 171 so it is time to move forward.

After discussions with University of Pittsburgh,Duke University,University of Miami and Jackson North in Miami Dennis has decided to go forward with SIRT treatment with Dr.Seza Gulec in Miami.He is not part of the University of Miami Sylvester Cancer center but Dr.Ardalan will work together with Dr. Gulec in this new effort. Dr Gulec has a impressive resume:

Information on this treatment is well explained on the following 2 websites:

We are finishing up chemotherapy in Miami today and Dennis will need at least a 2 week break from chemotherapy prior to this Internal Radiation Treatment.
Dennis plans to take advantage of this time to drive his truck out to Wyoming after his April 2 appointment with Dr.Aron Berkman,the Oncologist working with Dr. Gulec. Dave Thompson and John Molenar enthusiastically offered to fly to Florida and drive out with Denny.
It's a 3 day drive and sure to be fun for them. We will be in Wyoming until 13 April and fly home to begin tests and treatment 14 April. The actual radiation treatment will be during the later part of the week of April 20th.

Thank you for all your prayers and support!
