There really is a great difference in different treatment centers. I started treatment at the (free) Grady system here in Atlanta, but after INTOLERABLE delays and indifferent doctors, I quickly switched to (still free w/Medicare) Emory University, where I watched them build the Winship Cancer Center-an incredible place. Many related services in one bldg really helps me and the staff is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Cutting edge research helps, too.
