Welcome to the site Rebecca Rose, so sorry you need it. When we were choosing between hospitals to deal with my husband's cancer, we had the same question...how will we know which one. It was so overwhelming, the extreme seriousness of the situation, the huge amount of information. The advice we were given, do your homework, get your opinions...then somewhere along the process there will be a clearing, you will know.

That's exactly how it happened. My husband got opinions from Mayo, MD Anderson and University of Chicago...ending up being treated at U of C. By the time we had gotten all of our information, the decision was clear.

We set our priorities early on in the process, and #1 (2, 3...infinity!) getting a good outcome with a good quality of life, over convenience of treatment center, personality of the providers, etc.

The other bit of advice, through this process, you will hear many of our opinions...we are here for you. That said, in the end, nobody has a more vested interest in the outcome that you do. What worked for my family may not work for yours. As long as you're with a CCC, go with your gut. Best of luck through the process, Ana
