Oncologist in Texas

1/4/16 - Today we had an appointment with the Oncologist in Weatherford, TX. We were nervous about what he was going to say, since his specialty is cancer and his word would be doctrine. To our relief, the appointment was very positive! He echoed what the Urologist said about this type of cancer being very treatable. He said the "pure embryonal carcinoma" type is very sensitive to chemo and although chemo will be intense, chances are very good that after 4-6 months the cancer would be gone (like above a 95% chance). He told us the CT scan showed small specs on my lungs, and even people with full blown tumors on their lungs are still very treatable. He was a great guy, very understanding about wanting to get closer to family in UT for treatment.
