Glad to hear that treatment is continuing - only thing worse is when
they tell you, "sorry, we've done all we can".
On the other paw, it is interesting to see that perhaps all of that
time & quarters I spent playing video games might be useful. Perhaps it
was a better investment than medical school? All I'd have to do is buy
a laser, hang out a shingle, and call myself, "Falbert Forester, M.D."
Big bucks, spiffy coat, and lots of golf, here I come! *grin*
