hi Dan! The very best place to go for treatment is a Comprehensive Cancer Center(CCC). There a whole team of doctors will work together on your wife's case. Please take some time and read the info in the following link. Since you are just in the early stages of discovery there are many things that should be done before any procedures. A second opinion is very important.
