Me2, Oh no, I am going to try to get the cancer society here in Rome to help me get to Emory or there is a CCC in Birmingham, Al. also that I have found out about. Both our Hospitals here advertise for treating cancer but neither is a CCC. I know in my heart that this Dr. doesn't have a clue or just doesn't care one and that scares the heck out of me. To this day he hasn't even gotten a list of my routine medications. I am talking with our local chapter tomorrow, Everyone has been closed for the holiday. Hope you had a nice one.

You need to seek out the doctors that specialize in cancer for this. I wouldn't want the guy that is used to treating alergies and ear problems treating my cancer. I hear MD Anderson is the best. My care at UT here in San Antonio was also world class.

Angel - good for you for reaching out and finding resources to help you. I hope your local cancer society could give you some assistance with this. I am very glad you realize that the Dr. you have been seeing isn't the right one for you to continue seeing if you are going to kick this!

Thank you Texas and Me2. I definately understand. But you would be suprised at how hard it is to get to the right information in my area. But I have some good leads today I have been working on. Thank you both for your response. Very much appreciated.
