I just watched a very informative webinar video that explains AN and all the various treatment options with an approximate 30 minute Q & A session.

I imagine this may be very helpful for those newly diagnosed and their support people.

I meant to thank you for sharing this--I found it very interesting.

One thing kind of scared me, though--when the doctor showed the scans from one patient who had had radiation, tumor seemed to be dying (getting dark, shrinking, I think) but then suddenly kind of ballooned up--and I think he said the patient then had to have surgery. 

But the information was helpful, nonetheless.

Thanks!

You are welcome.  One never knows if the choice they make is the right one until it either is or isn't.  I was treated in May, before I saw this video, and chose CK intuitively after researching all options.  If it grows larger and I need surgery, I will know I tried to be conservative at first.  Thankfully, I had the opportunity to choose between all 3 options!
