NYC Day 1

Mini update! Today was Brian's first day of appointments in NYC at MSKCC. They met with the surgeon. Karen and Brian are so blown away by how knowledgeable they are up at Sloan. The surgeon wants to do chemo before the surgery to shrink the tumor. That means surgery will not be for at least 12 weeks. They will have a follow up appointment with the surgeon in 7 weeks from now (after a few rounds of chemo) at MSKCC. 

They will meet with the oncologist tomorrow to find out more about chemo. They do not know where (even what state) the chemo will be in yet. They still don't know what kind of sarcoma it is, but MSKCC will be doing their own testing and expect to know in a week. 

Brian gets to top off his day with another CT scan today, then is finished with appointments until tomorrow. Yay! 

I hope its not too cold up there. We miss you Karen and Brian! Stay warm!

    I'm glad to hear that the doctors are knowledgeable. Do they work together as a team in the hospital? Both of you are in our prayers every night and in my thoughts constantly. Thanks for keeping us updated.
