Hi heather I absolutely did not intend for you to feel attacked - and trust in a dr is very important. It is after all your decision. As others have stated we just want to educate - having been here a while you learn a few things - 1) not all hospitals are created equal (and many newcomers don't know that and make decisions based on convenience thinking one hospital is the same as another - ask Kelly about his recent ordeal with an experienced ent - who told him his cancer was back - he was terminal, and to look for a hospice (he actually had a brutal canker - that was necrotic) - for this reason we always suggest looking into the best possible care. and 2) some people simply don't ask - just accept what is given in terms of advice this can be a deadly mistake.

Unfortunately we've lost far too many members here - some in their early 20s to this disease - we always hope and pray for the best outcome and treatment for all. The worst thing is to sit there and regret your decision afterwards - and wonder - what if...
Hugs seriously I didn't mean to offend you - Hope all goes well. Treatment will be rough -but you will get through it. And try to take some time for yourself.
