I just posted about my brotherr Mark who has stopped on the second clinical trial because it was too hard on his body. I would like to know if anyone has been to MD Anderson, and if that might be an option for him. Thank you

    Hi Chris,
    I was treated at MD Anderson and have had excellent results. You can check out my webpage for the full story, but I had a liver and a lung resection there. It is a huge facility that takes a bit of getting used to, but otherwise I received top notch care and felt that the doctors were very upbeat and positive, which helped my overall state of mind. I would recommend the GI clinic there to anyone.
    Best wishes,
    Susan H.

    Any of the big cancer centers are a good place to have treatment. WHen I had cancer return last year, my husband and I went to MDAnderson for a 2nd opinion. We had excellent advice and care. The opinion we received was in line with what my local oncologist had suggested, so we started my treatment closer to home.

    MDAnderson is a big facility and takes some getting used to, but they are well-known.

    Lots of hugs,
    Cheryl
