Dana Farber is excellent also. I have considered getting another opinion from them if my husband reaches the point where it seems nothing is working but so far he is doing very well- considering.
At Yale we had trouble getting into the liver specialist initially and the gastro person. They were saying weeks for an appointment and this was before his diagnosis but after bloodwork and an ultrasound suggesting cirrhosis. In hindsight, I wish it was cirrhosis. After his scan, with diagnosis, we saw an oncologist who said he needed another scan- and they told me 3 weeks!
By the time that 3 weeks was up I had gotten a second opinion from Dr Simeone’s team at NYU
and then our Dr at MSK. Both recommended the same study. Yale has no access to many of the studies. The big centers do.
There is a lot of great new research and I pray a lot.
He is also not a candidate for surgery, metastasis to liver. Diagnosed last April 12th. Started chemo May 3.
God Bless
