Hi again. I am moving onto a new more aggressive phase of my treatment to stop progression. Not really happy with my current doctors or program. I've checked out a local Cancer Treatment Centers of America hospital. Everything they say sounds like what I'm looking for. Just wondering if anyone in the group has had any experience with them and how it went.I'm tired of just being a case file and one-size-fits-all treatment. This sounds like a more comprehensive, patient centered approach. Any comments out there? Thanks for all your help, you guys have been great, Don.

    Ahoy, Don -

    Congratulations to you for taking charge of your healthcare! Like everyone else here, I have heard great things about CTC. I am especially impressed with the way they combine holistic treatment with good old chemicals.

    Keep us all posted.

    be well

    Don,
    I'm glad that you are taking control of your care!!! I too ran into the same problem with my husbands Dr.'s I gave them another chance after I blew up and things changed. I also looked into the Cancer Treatment Center. Unfortunately, the closes one at the time was Zion, IL. They were in the process of getting the Philly canter in order. Unfortunately my husband didn't get the chance to see them. But from the info that I uncovered they seem to be right on the ball with things and they have teams that evaluate and discuss your treatments with you there. Philly would of been great as I live in North Jersey.
    Let us know how you make out!!!! All the info you can share with this group we are all the better for it!!!

    Best Wishes and Keep fighting this Monster with everything you have!!! We are here for you even if you just want to vent!!!
