Johns Hopkins is great and so is VCU, both of which are nearby. MD Anderson in Houston is well regarded as well. You are very wise to seek additional opinions as I saw 5 different cancer docs before I decided which to let treat me.

Keep us posted after Hopkins sees her and let us know what they say.

You have also found the most valuable site in the world to help her and you as well.
