      Firstly I wanted to say a huge thank you to for responding, it really is very much appreciated.  

      Tomorrow is D-Day for my wife.

      We are going to have a PET/CT scan at the Houston Imaging Center under sedation ( my wife cannot lay flat without incredible pain from the tumor in her neck which makes scans incredibly difficult to achieve ) and then we are going back to the clinic to have the Abraxane/Avastin IV combination.  

      Fingers crossed she will tolerate it best she can with as little side effects as possible.  We have just over one week left here and need to get started on some form of treatment.

      She's had numerous chemotherapy drugs in the past and has also had radiation therapy so am hoping that she will get through this and be positive in her mind to continue with the treatment back home.

      We have contacted our doctors in England and are anxiously awaiting confirmation that they will work with the clinic in administering these drugs, providing the clinic with bloods and scan results as required, and helping us to move forward in our lives.

      Thank you for taking the time to read this

      God bless you all
