the cancer specialist

Yesterday, we met with Dr. Arlan Fuller, the oncologist. He was a really nice old gentleman, probably in his late sixties.
He did some preliminary exams and he said that Gopilila condition seems positive and that her cervix looks mostly normal. Next saturday, they have a PT? scan scheduled. They run this liquid through her body so they can identify the hotspots or any potential danger areas.
This is the next step...
Apparently, the lungs may not be cancerous or at least the PT scan will give us a better idea.

Asta:
The treatment in India was quite good. The hospital that we were at is a teaching hospital and the medical school there is rated in the top five in India. When we met Radhanath Maharaj he mentioned that the hospital is good.
A week after she left the hospital two of her cancer doctors were scheduled to visit LA for a conference to give some presentations.
The doctors there were really nice and the nursing staff was really friendly.
The kids and I spent all the time in the hospital room with her, which is unthinkable in the west.
