I learned something new tonight. There is a such thing as a player entering the portal and being in a non contact phase. Apparently the player can request that

Yep. Griffin did that after he was inundated by requests after he entered portal last year. Once they’ve decided on their visits, some will revert to do not contact status in portal.

I would encourage you to do your own research. My uncle had one of the best cancer doctors in his area, who specialized in the cancer my uncle had.
He offered my uncle a choice between two treatment alternatives. And told him to look at them and make a choice. The doctor did not see a preferred choice between the two.
One week later, my uncle walked into his office and plopped down a 3rd treatment option and said, "I like this one better that the ones you offered me."
The doctor looked at it and said, "I do not know this doctor and I have never heard of this treatment. Can you give me a few days to make some calls and let's make a decision then."
On the return visit, The doctor indicated that he was whole heartedly in support ... and that the 3rd option did appear to be superior to the other two choices!

Also, my mother-in-law could not overcome her fight with cancer, we found it too late. It was in her bones and had spread too far too far, but there was a fantastic innovative new study being done across the street - that he tried to get her in ... unfortunately she did not qualify. Ultimately, she choose not to spend their life savings on a battle that the doctor said was not winnable.

May God guide your research and the choices that the family must make. God bless you and your wife.

Thank you. We have been encouraged by stories like yours and are doing our best to find the right doctors and treatment. We are going to Siteman at Washington U in STL this Friday for a second opinion. They're ranked top 10 in the country with many people giving them high marks. I have been surprised at how many people we know who have gone to MD Anderson in Houston from all over the country. After Friday, we may look for another opinion until we find something that gives us hope and comfort.

We have a local doctor who is traditional but also recognizes the value of alternatives. We have started following some of her advice also. She recommended super high doses of Vitamin C. There seems to be some data saying it helps. We know an older friend who has checked prostate cancer for the last few years with nothing else.

Prayers said for the entire family.
I tell my daughter from time to time, I got know idea why God has taken us down this path. But I trust him and will take what he sends.
This is not what we expected ... but God has a plan and he has not let me in on it. I do not know what it looks like from here to the end of the road, but I do know who is standing there, waiting for us.

We have already been blessed by the number of people praying for us and reaching out. We moved across the country when we were younger. My wife is kind of an extreme extrovert so she makes new friends everywhere. The outpour of love has been amazing.

One answer to prayer was interesting. We were discussing the situation in Sunday School and our disappointment that it was taking so long to get her in at Siteman in STL. One of the guys in class piped up and said, "We can help with that". Come to find out the CEO of Siteman deer hunts on some farmland our friends own. They got us a number. He didn't answer immediately but called back within the hour... from vacation in Hawaii to say he would do what he could to move her appointment up.

I don't know where it ends either and we are committed to glorify God and trust His goodness. One other thing is that we've assessed how we use our time. There are ministries that need help in our area that need volunteers. We have talked about it often... we're more motivated now.

My mother has been to MD Anderson. She has always been impressed with them and their treatment. She feels far more confident about things than from physicians in Knoxville.

Blessings on your wife, you, and your family.

We've pulled it together a little bit now but the idea of losing someone I've been with for 35 years and really the only woman I've ever loved still doesn't seem possible. I shed more tears in two days than the rest of my adult life put together.

I feel ya! Prayers up for ya brother. This life down here is but an eye blink. Our Blessed Hope is above. We will all be together soon enough. Still, we all have to slug our way through life down here till then. Let us know if you need anything.
