Wasn't aware medicare supplemental plans had PPO offered. And that a cancer diagnosis didn't make you ineligible. Thanks for the clarification. I'll continue with the VA as they work closely with the cancer center a few miles away that I've been using since I was diagnosed with PACC in Aug. of last year.

I too was diagnosed with PACC stage IV over 12 years ago. If you are not already aware, the US expert who has the most experience from studying and treating PACC patients is Christine Alewine MD, PhD and the NIH-NCI. She is conducting a study and also available for patient consults. I enrolled in her study a few months ago. Here is the contact info:
