Hello, I am new here and at a loss on how to proceed with helping my mom. She just received a dx of “Lymphoproliferative B cell disorder” with instruction to see oncologist, on a biopsy taken from duodenum mass. The endoscopy and colonoscopy were done to investigate severe lower bleeding episode. In addition to gi episode mom has been having fevers, fatigue and weight loss of 20lbs (135 to 115). She has had about 10 lumps on scalp with some crusted. Her pcp can’t see her for a week. I would like to get her scheduled with oncologist earlier if possible but don’t know how to find one well versed in this type of cancer, any suggestions! We are in Philadelphia. Thx;)

    Sorry to hear this. I would head straight to one of the following:

    Abramson Cancer Center

    University of Pennsylvania

    Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    Comprehensive Cancer Center

    UPMC Hillman Cancer Center

    Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

    Comprehensive Cancer Center

    Fox Chase Cancer Center

    Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    Comprehensive Cancer Center

    "Comprehensive Cancer Center" is a certification by the National Cancer Institute, which means that they perform research, conduct clinical trials, employ the best and brightest and posses cutting edge technology. They are the best of the best.
