Hi all.....

I am happy to report that I got Ron to go to the above group tomorrow
night because it is OUR oncologist (Dr. Andrew Loblaw) who is the main
speaker and the person I spoke to said when he is the speaker, their
attendance doubles!!  Wow!!

Ron (and me too, for that matter) has always been reticent about
support groups and I am not expecting him to drastically change, but I
do think he just might find he likes it.  He doesn't have a problem
discussing it with a select few, but is just not a *group person*.

Dr. Loblaw is both a radiation oncologist and now Director of Radiation
Oncology Research at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.  Not too shabby for
a young lad of 40 or so.  He will be speaking on the "Timing of Hormones
after Treatment Failure and new RT Techniques".   And it says he is
going to explain the risks, side effects and benefits of HT.

I am really looking forward to this......and glad that Ron is going.  We
do have his 6 month appt. with Dr. Loblaw in two weeks and it will be
nail-biting time again.  He is also going to have a bone density test
done just for the records.  Dr. Loblaw never got a copy of the one he
had done out here, which was pretty good at that time.

Cheers.....Heather
