UPA & Fox Chase are up there, another great place is Cancer Centers of America--I was unable to get in that one, but by the time I was trying the cancer was rapidly growing. I was treated at LVH--Morgan Cancer Center, Allentown Pa. I was more then pleased with my RO, MO & ENT. When I was in the Hospital due to dehydration he stopped them from putting a PEG in--He was like whoa, slow down..Let's find the problem, the kid didn't come this far then all of sudden need a PEG. It was the Fentanyl patch that was making me nauseous and unable to keep anything down & he caught that when no one else did. In NY there is Sloan Kettering and you can't get a better ranked tx center. But, Philly has a lot of good places.
