Hi Boomboom - I just posted links on another forum where you asked about CCC (Comprehensive Cancer Centers). You can get a second opinion at any CCC and a bunch of them are listed here:

also rankings here:

It is important to get a second (or even third) opinion for something this important. Maybe someone closer to your area can also give you information re their own direct experience. Explore this site - see the main page and get any and all questions ready for the doctors or for anyone here. Hope everything goes well with your father. Let us know what happens.
