If the diagnosis is cancer you should be going the the nearest Comprehensive Cancer Center CCC you can find. There is a gentleman on this board ( DavidCPA) that is in Florida and was treated at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa and cannot say enough positive things about it.
Many of us travel fairly long distances to get to these centers because they are the best shot we have of beating this thing coming out of the gate.
If I where you I would call Moffitt today. If they are to far from you they will give you the best option close to you that you can get. You need to get very aggresive with this beast which I think you are doing now.
Good luck and let us know how things are progressing.
