    Hi Bawa,
    My brother started this EC journey last July as well. I would be very interested in who your sister saw at Stanford. My brother is in Hayward CA and he has been going to an oncology doc at Kaiser. We are not having much luck and have asked for a referral to Stanford or UCSF. Your sister sounds very young. Please keep in touch and know your sister is in our prayers. Gail

    THANKS FOR ALL THE ENCOURAGING WORDS
    Dear William

    Thanks so much for all the information and advice. It is certainly a good space where one as u said will encounter the good the bad and the ugly. And yes i agree it is not a space for the faint heart.

    Thanks

    hi
    Hi

    Sorry for the delay in response. The name of the doc in Stanford is Dr Pamela Kunz, if that helps. My sister is not very happy with Stanford.
