Wednesday Jan 7, 2009 -- We met with Dr. Liu, my Kaiser medical oncologist. We went through our list of questions and discussed my case and the treatment options available. Walnut Creek Kaiser doesn’t have radiation facilities so Dr. Liu referred me a radiation oncologist at John Muir–Concord.

That evening I refereed my last high school soccer match of the season. My weekday schedule now was too unpredictable to try to get more games.
