My mother was just diagnosed with EC and it seems she is being treated ok however it isn't a place that specializes in EC. Does anyone know of any such place in the southeastern US?

    I would recommend
    Dr. Robert Cerfolio at the University of Alabama.
    is world renowned expert and skilled thoracic surgeon.
    He only does thoracic surgery. He is known for taking patients at particular high risk.
    Look his name up on google.... he comes up all over the place.
