Kelly,

Wow, I'm so happy for you that you didn't sit there and let them put you on palliative care. Were your doctors not aware of procedures that were taking place outside of their facility? Just because they don't have the equipment doesn't mean they shouldn't educate the patient of their real options. I'm glad you knew well enough to look elswhere because I am sure there are plenty of people out there who don't. I hope they all find this site and realize that they are not limited by the abilities of their current facility.
