lien,

I may have missed it, but are you at a center of excellence?

If you are not, my consistent input it to get to one and stay there - for chemo and any other follow-on treatment.

Relocation is difficult, but there is a difference in knowledge, focus and care.

Thank you for your message. Yes thank goodness he is! He's being treated at MSKCC. I know that you're absolutely right about the difference in knowledge, focus and care. His cancer was found during an emergency room visit at our local hospital. One of the doctors who came in to see him had indicated that he could do all of his treatments there, but we knew we wanted him to go with MSK.

How do I find or identify a "center of excellence?" Who lays that title on the center and what is their criteria?
