By the way, my treatment with my first occurrence of pancan was with Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, CA; though my surgeon also practices at USC which is listed as a "center of excellence, and that is their home base; in fact that group recently returned there. If you read any of my gripes on this site about my medical care, you might assume and be correct that Hoag is not a "center of excellence". It is a good hospital, just not the best for cancer. Since I had a HMO this year, though next year I'll have a PPO and can go anywhere in California that accepts Blue Shield, I was limited in my options. I wish I had known about this site last year when I was diagnosed as I would have learned a lot before I chose Hoag. But, also I'm going to Cedar Sinai next week to hopefully get a good opinion on what treatment course I should take.
