I'm also from the Lehigh Valley and I believe we already met on FB! I was treated locally and then when I had a recurrence went to Johns Hopkins. I had been to HUP and Fox Chase for second opinions. There are a few forum members who were treated at HUP (Penn).

Hi guys! I am from PA too! I live in Central PA, but I am from Pittsburgh and I go there monthly to visit my older parents and that is where I go for my doctors (as there are no good ones in central PA).

Is there a facebook group? I have not found one and I would love to join one?

Thanks,
Laurie
