I’ve been phoning Mohammed Kashani-Sabet, M.D. to try to get Jim in sooner than his appointment scheduled for Monday. However, I’ve just learned that the Melanoma Board at UCSF meets every Monday. What this means, according to ENT Michael Shapiro, M.D. is that Jim will be at UCSF for the whole of Monday:
– Meeting in the morning with Dr. Kashani
– In the afternoon the board will review his case
– Jim may meet again with Dr. Kashani after the board meets to review their consensus
It wouldn’t make sense for Jim to go in any sooner than when the board meets. After all, the latest information on approved medicines and experimental treatments for Melanoma are being developed and are available through the board at UCSF. And we want the best minds working with Jim.
We’ll have a lot more information for you by the end of the day Monday. Stay tuned…
with love, Sylvie
