Hi ChemTeach,

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. You're in a good place for info and encouragement for sure. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here.

If you've been lurking then you've seen many recommend a 2nd opinion. It's just a prudent thing to do. Seek out a CCC near you and see what they have to say. Most CCCs use a team approach which bodes well for the patient. Having confidence in your team is vital for your attitude and success IMO.

Here is a list of the top rated Cancer hospitals in the US.

Cancer Center Ratings

I see you're in Tx. MD Anderson is #1 in the country. A CCC will have seen more in terms of quantity of cases and diversity as well as have the latest technology.

Information and knowledge will be your best ally as you begin the journey.

Positive thoughts and prayers
