We are are in the Barrie area, so he would start treatment at that location. At the diagnosis in June they talked about Princess Margret as well.

I will keep trying with my Dad. At this point I sense he is reluctant still. I continue to read this forum and find very positive results and individuals living far past their initial diagnoses, even with the most negative diagnoses.

Thanks everyone!

Ya, any treatment in the form of radiation or chemo would be done in-town at the cancer centre at Royal Victoria Hospital and some consultation would be done at PMH; if you have a morning appointment at PMH, remember to LEAVE AT LEAST THREE AND A HALF HOURS before, as downtown Toronto traffic is brutal (despite that Toronto is 110 km/70 miles from Barrie).

If your father doesn't want to go for any treatment, have his local family doctor explain to him what results of vertebrae collapse are; not pretty.

We have one member in this forum from BC who is in his 18th year after diagnosis.
