First visit with Dr. Te (tay)

Wed Oct. 1st Met with Dr. Te (pronounced Tay) today. He has a great reputation of being a very thorough and excellent oncologist and we felt really good about him. We talked about the options and he scheduled a couple more tests like an MRI and so forth. We told him our main goal was to get through the upcoming wedding and then start on treatment. We also talked about maybe doing radiation to help with the pain in my back to make it a little more comfortable at the wedding as well. So we decided we would try and start the chemo the Monday after the wedding. We also set up to drain my chest again. The one thing that he and all the support people kept saying that really struck home with me was to not hesitate to call 24 / 7 if anything was worse or whatever.
