Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | That's great news Patcey. I'm certain you will be in good hands. email Suzanne or Jerry. They both were treated there. Sloan's facility is in north Jersey so would be quite a commute, but doable it you had to. Fox Chase should be closer.
Take care,
Eileen

Neither of us had treatment that was anywhere near as complex as yours, however many patients there have.
It is a great facility with top notch practitioners.
Feel free to email me and I will be more than happy to answer any questions that you have.
I also do volunteer work at Fox Chase.
