hi Christine,

i was treated at Hopkins in 01. my experience is fine and i think the folks there relate to many patients very well..

i've read hopital ratings that put JH at #3 for cancer and #1 for head and neck stuff. they are well recognized nationally.. they also recently received a very large contribution that i think was the largest ever for the hopital... to support cancer work... thus the facilities are modern.

i stayed in hospital housing across the street from the cancer center for 7 weeks. it made treatment convient. there are various places for out of towners to stay and they have staff to help people locate something that suits.

if you want more info, please contact me offline.

best wishes for you both.
