That sounds awful to go through for all of you. My son's birthday is September 17th.
Yes we are in PA, in the Poconos, Stroudsburg area, we go to Lehigh Valley Dale and Francis Hughes Cancer Center, we see a Dr Lash who practices at Cedar Crest Hospital and Topper Cancer in Allentown area mostly but travels to our area every month.
He has explained that the gleevac gives good results and is usually well tolerated, but it does list some scary side effects as most medication does. We are doing our best to stay positive.
Are you going to like a Mayo clinic in Boston?

The Dana Farber Cancer Institute. The Sarcoma Doctor there told our son and his wife that there was only a small chance of a cure, due to the tumors being inoperable, but they agreed to try. Either I took my wife up to watch our granddaughter for a week while he and his wife went for 5 days of treatment, or I took him for his onc day treatments. His doctors and nurses were very kind and at least gave him hope. Now we wait to see if the cancer is still stable 3 months after chemo ended. The most important thing for your family is that it appears to have been caught early, unlike our son, who was already stage 4 when he was diagnosed.
