@alohman08 @inquirer You both highlight the importance of going to a comprehensive cancer center such as MSK (Memorial Sloan Kettering) in NYC.

National Cancer Institute - NCI Designated Centers

I went to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. It was inconvenient. When I was diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma (one of the most common endometrial cancers) I would have asked for appointments at another comprehensive cancer center such as MSK or MD Anderson if I thought it was needed. Local care feels good because you can stay at your own home and extensive travel isn't needed. But....if it works I want the expertise of well, the experts.

@naturegirl5 Thank you! Went to the link you provided and both UCI and UCLA are there. I didn't know about NCI. I just went world renowned people for my type of cancer and that's where they happened to be. It makes sense.
