What is upcoming week of March 16

I hope to hear back from the MD Anderson Cancer Center (in Houston) and may end up going down there for a consultation about the possible addition of a drug therapy (experimental for my flavor of cancer) to the radiation.  All my records have been sent down there, so I am waiting to hear back about either a recommendation or an appointment.  For the scientific types, this drug is a monoclonal antibody (is that the right term?), and the results have been good on other related cancers, but just not sure about mine in particular yet.

I am meeting with the medical oncologist on Monday and also having my 2nd RT (radiation therapy, if you are not "in the know" about terminology) prep session mid-week.  Don't know what else may be in store in terms of tests, etc.  

I have been pretty pleased with the Herrick Cancer Center in Berkeley.   They are great.
