UCLA is all set

Wednesday was spent making, and taking, many phone calls. Early in the morning I sent an e-mail with the results of the Endoscopic Ultrasound to the doctor that I had made contact with at UCLA. Within an hour,  Dr.Tomlinson personally called me on my cell. We went over a few of the medical details about Georges case, and he wants to see George next week. He is presently in Texas, presenting at a medical conference but is eager to see what he can do for us. He will be presenting George's case to his team next Thursday morning, and will meet with us a few hours later. The team consists of other Surgeons, GI doctors, Oncologists and a Radiologist. They will all give their impression and recommendations for treatment options. We could not have asked for a better team, and know that it is worth the wait. We also know that Surgery at this moment may not be the best treatment plan so Dr. Tomlinson is working on getting us connected with an oncologist. We may even see one that very same day, but that is not confirmed.  I Fed Ex'd all of George's records to him so we shall see what next week holds.
