Thank you for your posts. We are looking at sending his records to MD Anderson. I spoke with them and it sounds like they review your records and if they feel they can offer anything they then invite you for a consultation. It sounds like they will not bother meeting with us if they feel they have nothing more to offer.
My husband is already feeling poorly and is leaning towards another Southern, CA location for a 2nd opinion. There is Cedars, City of Hope, UC Irvine and Saint Josephs. Anyone have an opinion one way or the other on any of them? Our Dr. suggested a Dr. at UC Irvine so we may go with him.
It's frustrating that getting records, images, etc.. takes so long. It would be nice to get a 2nd opinion immediately but we are looking at a few weeks I'm sure.
They want to put a traech in his throat on Thursday at UCLA. I hope that does not upset him in regards of getting another opinion.
Thank you for your help.
