Hindsight is 20/20.
I spoke with Tom and Linn today. Linn did most of the talking. Tom is ready to meet with the doctors tomorrow or at least speak by phone and set up a meeting to review all his options. He and Linn plan to speak with Kendall to get his perspective on the whole thing. It sounds as if his doctors are ready to start radiation treatment asap. So Linn has her research work cut out for her.

Gnu, I believe that these doctors think they know what is best. Tom is a professional singer. At the very least he needs a second opinion as to treatment. Lasar, for example, was not available when Kendall was diagnosed. If it is an option for Tom (only the doctors can determine that),it does far less damage to both the vocal cords and the immune system.

So Linn will ask lots of questions, get all their options mapped out and decide what is in Tom's best interest both short and long term. Meantime, we can only offer support. I don't envy them the next few months. I don't envy Linn Tom's curmudgeonliness for the next month or two. LOL

On a happier note, Jacqui and I went yard saling. When Linn and Tom are in a happier place, we have found the most revolting piece of hideobilia to date and it has their name on it.
