      I think I told you before that MDA Houston is a great place to go, so you'll be in good hands.  Seems like you've had all the right tests and are heading in the right direction.  I am sure at this point all you want in the thing out of our neck!  I think we have all felt that way at one time or another.  I'm vietman era, so I have many friends that went through what you did and are still dealing with the ghosts.  I'm sorry you have another burden.

      As for staging and exact answers, I believe until the actually see that monster and know the true size and check the lymph nodes for microscopic cancer you will not get the exact answers.
