My mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last October at age 68. They immediately removed the tumor along with everything else associated with the cancer and area.

She was scheduled for 6 chemo treatments, however, after 3 her port became infected and resulted in a 31 day hospital stay with many days that where survival was uncertain. They decided to forgo the remaining treatments and change to a chemo pill.

Fast forward to mid-November and her numbers spiked signaling the cancer had returned. The doctor did not seem concerned, explaining that’s simply a high probability with ovarian cancer and he believed a minor surgery plus another cycle of chemo would buy more time. Post surgery he said everything looked exactly as he expected and chemo would be set asap.

Upon arriving for the first treatment the doctor in charge of chemo explained the cancer to be platinum resistant, ruling that option out, transitioning to a new treatment that would hopefully giving her 6-8 months.

This was a doctor who works at Brookwood and St. Vincent’s, has great “bedside manner,” and really has filled every role I expected from a doctor.

I’ve researched as much as I can, finding a few alternative options to combine with the treatment and have she has just agreed to get a second opinion from a doctor at Vanderbilt.

I’m supposed to sit down with her (now age 69), dad (76…used to post some on the Scout board with the same username I have here), plus my wife (AU undergrad and masters alum) tomorrow to discuss our opinion and her thoughts. This was originally planned for her to hear why we strongly believed she needed a second opinion, however, thanks to relationships we have at Vandy getting her in quickly she has already agreed to the second opinion.

Is there anything you have personally experienced or have experience with you could add to this situation? I’m a fairly in-depth person who will research everything, therefore, if you don’t want to go into detail about the suggestions you make, I’ll put the work into researching anyways, however, your personal perspective is definitely appreciated.

Thank you all.

Posing this question after I've been reading about Ohio State coach Ryan Day getting into more hot water as he's trying to downplay losing to Michigan for the 4th straight year by saying he's got his team in the playoffs and Michigan is not. There have been comments back and for saying most teams with big rivals, like the OSU-Michigan game or the Iron Bowl want to beat their rivals each year just as bad, or worse, than winning a conference title or national championship. There's just been a lot of talk about how college football is still about the rivalries and traditions and that's what sets it apart from the pro game. But I don't know. To me the landscape has changed so much the last few years the line between the two are getting very blurry.

So what about it? Does it mean more for Auburn to beat Bama as much as possible, or are we not worried about a loss to them if we still get to play of and win a national title? And should a head coach be judged more on how many title games he gets to and wins, or how many wins he has against his main rivals?

Is there anywhere that shows where we rank. I imagine pretty high.

If Jamie isn't all killed up this show sucks.

It’s been reported he’ll play, yeah, but here’s more proof:

Just a thought? I always enjoyed those.

We would use the same process as Vandy and Diego Pavia.

Not sure if the timeline but this is huge.

This would mean Morris would then be our swing guy unless Wright leaves.
