The doctors at OSHU Knight Cancer Institute were very nice and answered all of our questions. They recommended radiation and chemo as the other oncologist had at Providence Portland. I asked if they thought that OHSU was the best place for Jason to get care and they said no. We appreciated their honesty. They are able to re-look at his pathology test to see if they agree or disagree with the diagnosis. They also are going to check the tumor to see if it is methalated or not methalated. From what I understand, if it is methalated the tumor well respond better to treatment. This can take up to 2 weeks to get the results back. We will not be going to OHSU for treatment but are thankful for the work they are doing to help Jason. They were extremely knowledgable and offered a great deal of information to us. We were there for over 2 hours and they did not rush us at all. I am very happy with them, I only wish they could offer the best treatment for his condition.
We are going to CTCA in Tulsa Oklahoma on Tuesday, hoping for the best!
