Makes me want to scream. Okay, now that I got that out of my system, there are many on this board who will be of great assistance you you as far as what comprehensive cancer center you might want to consider.
It sure feels better when you have a plan, doesn't it. I can remember how encouraged I was 5 years ago to see the words "ActionCancer" in big bold letters on the side of our CancerCare Center.
Do you know any more about his cancer? Location? Size? Staging? That information will help the wise people from the board to offer the right counsel.
Hugs. One step at a time, one day at a time. Cancer is not a death sentence~!
