    Web site...
    Hi Leonardo,
    Before you come to the states you might want to call and set up an appointment in advance. You will probably need pre-approval from your insurance for the second opinion consult and the scan. Here is a web-site for a very good Cancer Center in Las Vegas. www.cccnevada.com. Click on patient resources and you should find a number to call to get things set up.
    Good luck and best wishes for your father. Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)
