Hi. MD Anderson, in Houston, is the top U.S. cancer hospital. I would suggest consulting with them, too. Please post again, with updates.

My sister did her treatment at Dana Faber in Boston and was satisfied, she sent me a link to their second opinion program, yes, seems you just send them your stuff, then they send you a written report. Seems like a lot of places do that and I know that many of the top Bangkok hospitals do it as well (popular second opinion choice in Asia).

Still would be nice to have an interactive visit so I am hopeful for my visit Wednesday night with this local doctor, does a lot of YouTube videos that seem popular, speaks English, seems to be able to explain things very well. I can pay him for a further consult if maybe he finds out more from the pathology people (looks at slides, sees more "raw" data, etc.). Or maybe he contacts the proton therapy people on my behalf, explains my situation, etc. Again, happy to pay someone to do this (we are talking like $200 USD/hour not tons of money) and get treated locally as I have lived in Asia about 15 years my life and job are here so finding treatment here would be better and, long-term, yes, going to be here and going to need routine follow-up etc. So having a doctor who could contact his buddy at such and such hospital would just make things go so much more smoothly. Hopefully he gets interested in my case, wants to maybe research stuff on his own, talk to his own network, whatever. I am vaguely interesting just by being Caucasian (they do not see very many of us) so works in my favor, not just my weird location (which I can imagine is also interesting, as my slow-growing tumor, on its own, seems entirely uninteresting).
