      Thanks all for your comments.  Doc still doesn't want to move to another treatment until he sees progression.  I don't know why he doesn't see brain mets and T9 mets as progression.  Driving me crazy and I hate to start over with another Dr. as we are looking at 4 hours away.  He says he has a call in to Tarhini and waiting for a call back.  If I don't hear from him in 48 hours I am going to another oncologist.  Prob. UPMC Cancer Institute.
