UCSF/Dr. Chang

Our appointment with Dr. Chang is for 2:30 so we had a little time to wander around San Francisco. We found our way to UCSF, went to the piers and had lunch. We looked at a submarine and naval ship used in WW2 and walked through Cannery Row but didn't have much time to spend before the appointment. We met with Dr. Chang and like her a lot. She explained everything very clearly and made Kyla feel like she is not just a statistic . She has a protocol that she is using now in which Kyla would have the standard radiation but would take Temodor (chemo) along with Acutane (which enhances the effects of chemo) along with the radiation for six weeks. After the six weeks are over, she would remain on the chemo and Acutane for a year but the chemo would drop down to 5 days a month. So now Kyla has to sort out what treatment she would like to try. Lots of decisions to make. Footnote: Jed drives like a pro (aka as "maniac") around SF in our new car....shoulda been a cabbie, Jed!
