University Medical Center, University of Arizona, Tucson.

OK....  Huge thank yous to UMC Tucson.  This is where my husband is being treated.  The Dr. that my husband is seeing has probably seen more SNUC than any other Dr in the US (maybe the world), and he has only ever treated 7 cases. I cannot say enuf good things about Dr. Chiu and his team.  I am probably giving away who we are but I just need to say how wonderful these people have been. Dr. Chiu obviously knows quite a bit about this cancer and what the best approach to treatment is.  The neurosurgeon that performed the brain portion of the surgery was Dr. Michael Lemole who is the same neurosurgeon who performed Gabbie Gifford's surgeries. Amazing group of doctors. We will be traveling to Tucson to meet with the Radiologist, Dr. Chui, and a social worker some time this coming week.  Radiation will begin around the second week in August and will be everyday for 6 weeks.  It will be difficult maintaining 2 homes financially and logistically but these are the best guys in the world and I would not go anywhere else. We will not be in town for my 2 children's birthdays, or when they start school. Thank god that I have a wonderful group of family and friends to call upon to help.  I think today must be gratitude day, because I feel very grateful for what we have and where we are with this devastating disease.
