Hi, The husband of a friend has just had brain surgery (Thursday morning) and is diagnosed with brain cancer. They'll get the path reports on Monday. They are looking for brain cancer oncologist. Any recommendations? We live in south central Idaho. Thanks for your help. Lynn

    little rock, arkansas. UAMS. i know it might sound kind of crazy, but look into it. we are so fortunate to be here. my husband had two craniotomies this year, performed by gazi yasargil, who invented the microscope and many other instruments used in modern brain surgery. he's 84 years old and our hero. we have met many people from all over the country/world who have traveled here for treatment for all kinds of cancer with different doctors. hope it helps!
