Lee, welcome to our boards. I am sorry you have to be here, but you are already ahead of the game by being so proactive in your own treatmant.
Take the advice these guys give you , they have all been where you are.
MD Anderson is not the only game in town but, I understand your wanting to go to the facility you believe to be the best.
Even if your cannot be treated there your own Doc can consult with them.
Wishing you all the best.

Marica
You tell `Em Amy!
