Roger,

I have experience with both Northwestern's and the University of Chicago's cancer centers. I have been happy with the doctors at both institutions and would be happy to talk with you about them, just drop me an email. The other hospitals mentioned (Anderson, Sloan) are considered the best, so if you're able to travel I would consider contacting them as well. Either way, please act now.

Take care,
Dave
