Appointment w/ Dr. Fuller, August 20 -
Met with Dr. Fuller again today. He is the "easy-cowboy" doctor who does complicated cancer surgeries. He as a "good cop" to my other doctor. And today, again, he was as humble and approachable as previously.
He confirmed the CT scan I had on August 19 was very good at imaging the tumor. It sits at the "bifurcation" of the bile duct into the liver, and surrounds the bile duct, the artery and the vein that all converge in that one spot. It's Dealer 21 twenty-one times in a row. It remains unresectable and unattainable for a biopsy. It's hiding and waiting.

Dr. Fuller supported our ideas wholly to go to MD Anderson. He completely understood and supported the idea. We go on this Friday for five appointments.
