I hope Johns Hopkins has some big guns to help you out!

Thanks so much guys!  We're actually excited and very optimistic about going to Johns Hopkins.  We gave the B-team here in Rochester a shot at my treatment with the blessings of my JH docs.  It worked for awhile, but then just stopped toward the end.  JH is the top place in the world for pancreatic and bile duct cancer, so I'll have my best shot at survival with them.  Naturally, prayers and attitude make a big difference, too!   ;D

All went well at Johns Hopkins.  They want me to do a couple more chemos here before we move onto a different therapy.  Fortunately, they don't feel things are as bad as we recently thought.  That was good news!  Our docs here are very conservative and tend to panic if things don't go as they expect.  So, we'll do some more treatment here then send the results down to JH for their analysis and follow up.

Meanwhile, I'm feeling fine, till the next treatment on Friday.  Ugh!
