    James, 

    I am a patient at Memorial Sloan Kettering so have no experience with Duke. I did a quick search of the forums and found a recent post from a Duke patient.  Perhaps you can try sending him a private message as some people don't visit the forum pages regularly to notice new threads.

    Here is that post:

    Best Regards, 

    Amy

    Duke patient here

    Hi, 

    i was treated at duke for my stage 4 rectal cancer diagnosed in fall of 2009.  I have been NED for 5 years.  While I have no basis for comparison, I had excellent experience at Duke.  Is there something specific I can answer for you?  I will try to help if I can.
