Could you elaborate on the differences? I am in CT too, and My husband is being treated at Dana Farber, which is renowned cancer center as well, but we are curious too, as to what MSK offers. Dana has a specialty pancreatic cancer unit, which is why we are there. Our Dr. recently attended cancer conference in CA and was optimistic about research, new clinical trials, etc. I asked him how he keeps up on all the trials and research, and he says he cannot, actually. He said he calls a dr at Sloan Kettering regarding specific clinical trials for specific patients. So, I think we have to be our own advocates, and therefore wondering about MSK, and whether at some point, we should get second opinion. My husband was diagnosed in Jan and just had his second chemo treatment at Dana. They said he is not eligible for surgery.

Thank you very much for your reply. You mentioned there was a night and day difference between MSK and your local hospital. Could you elaborate on the differences a little bit more?
