    WELCOME ABOARD!
    Welcome elizabethgd -

    Sorry you have to be here, but you've come to a great board with a lot of happy, shining people who give great advice, support, and laughter (as you've mentioned in another post).

    You asked about Duke Cancer Center - one of the BEST in the country!

    Be well!

    Have you had experience or known anyone who has had experience with them?
    I went there for a second opinion...removal of rectum and creating a j pouch is standard procedure for them, according to surgeon..

    I was treated at Bethesda Naval Hospital, but my aunt (who has Lynch Syndrome/HNPCC like I do) was seen at Duke. She ended-up switching to a hospital closer to her home in High Point, NC. Duke, however, is leading the cancer fight. In my mind tey are right up there with M.D. Anderson.

    That's close to me!
    Hey, High Point's not that far from me. If you come visit your aunt, I'd love to meet you!
