hi all,

following suggestions to my earlier post, i have been looking for a treatment centre in los angeles that takes a multidisciplinary approach. i've come across "city of hope" (http://www.cityofhope.org/) on the web, and wonder if anybody out there has more direct knowledge of it.

or, is there another centre in los angeles that you might recommend?

this is for my sister who's currently undergoing chemo, after surgery and radiation, because of recurrence.

thank you for any info.

be well.
