Preparing for yet another doctor

We have decided that Mr. Miller needs an oncologist closer than New Haven. We have also decided to try Hartford Hospital Harry Grey Cancer center. So on Sept. 17 we go there for a visit with Dr. Siegal there. We are hoping to find him receptive to the intermittent therapy versus the continual therapy that his urologist suggests.

The FELON urologist. (Sorry I can't get past the fact that he is a felon.) Personally, if I never saw him again I would be very happy. At any rate more positive thoughts are needed about Miller's treatment. I am hoping that Doctor Siegal is aware of clinical trials that may be helpful.

Also today I will drive to Newington to the VA to see whether they have all the records they asked for in anticipation of Miller's appt there on Sept 3 for a genitourinary exam. This will help decide whether he will be granted a disability due to exposure to agent orange in Viet Nam. Miller also has glaucoma. This is another condition that results from agent orange exposure. We are claiming on both issues.
