DF told me same thing. That the chemo treatments would be the same at Hartford Hospital , (which is where we started,) as at DF. I pushed back a bit, and asked if there were any pros to using DF, since it is renowned cancer center. My take is --things are the same in the beginning when you start treatment, and "chemo is chemo," but if there are problems along the way, DF would probably be a better place to be. It's about life balance, I guess, and where you want to be getting your treatments. Some don't want to drive to DF, and are more comfortable elsewhere, (with comforts of home, etc.) is the way the drs explained it.
Unfortunately, I think my husband has a very difficult situation, and the cancer appears to have spread to lymph nodes. All we can do is pray, and hope the chemo is effective. There are no trials or anything else DF can do. I'm praying every day at Mass. Thanks for all the input.
