We are going to Duke this week to be checked out by a new team of dr's (this is my moms 4th recurrence). Perhaps we happen to not like what we hear from them, or just think it would be better to gather a 2nd opinion, and we want to travel to Houston to MDAnderson. Do they offer a discounted airfare rate for your 'consultation' visit and lodging? I see on their website that they do offer discounts to patients and family once in treatment but I was wondering if they extend that to patients that are visiting for the first time.

Any help would be appreciated. THank you for reading
