Who is the best cancer doctor?
 

Like the title says I need the very best cancer doctor in the USA.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Whats wrong, Ryan?

Talk to Jim "Prostock" he might be able to help ya.
Jim has cancer :(

I dont really want to discuss it here but I need the very best for my wife :)

There is this dude in the Philipeans, he does a ritual or somthing and he pulls the cancer out with his bare hands.

I saw it in a movie with Jim Carrey.

In truth I wish I could tell ya, its a sad thing to fight I've seen a fe family members and friends die of various sorts of cancer:(

I wish you luck and tis very sad to hear, however there are alot of good dr's out there and often cancer can be fought and won.

Teaching hospitals are the best choice.
Search the newsgroups.

:)

wow, im hoping i never have to find out.

Hope you find a good one

She already has the best husband: that helps a lot :)

Take care you two, shell be ok.

I'd start with the Mayo clinic

Some doctors are better then others depending on the type of cancer.

Dr. Ronald Hempling was one of the top notch docs at Rowell Park Cancer institute several years back. He saved my mothers life when she had less then a 20% chance of survival. Shes still alive today because of him. He is in York PA right now.

Ill send some good karma your way. Ive been through this more times then I can count. Good luck.

Depends of what kind of cancer.

wishing your wife the best of luck! :thumbsup

WTF ?

This ain't funny at all !
Man if you are really looking for someone, i doubt this is place !
I really hope that if someone really DID experience this and he reads this, he will send you to the right place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I lost my father about 7 years ago because of THIS MOTHER FUCKING SHIT

But like he said, it depends on what kind of cancer you got "bro"

:(

Keep us posted !!!!!

Probably someone at Cedars Sinai

Good luck man.

What state are you in?

You may want to contact your local Hospice office or medical university - they will know the top cancer centers in your area and outward. Best of luck!

--Mayo Clinic

The type of cancer your wife has usually determines which hospital or learning hospital or clinic you should research.

I'm sorry. I know this is a tough one.

Thanks for the info, Im in Wa state but that doesnt matter as we will go anywhere.

She is only 25 years old and we just had a baby 9 months ago and also a 6 year old so this shit is scary.

Its stage 3 Melanoma and she is looking at her 2nd surgery next wed. :(

We have gone to the cancer research center here but I was not impressed with the doctor so I am just looking for more options.

UCLA Med Center does alot of Cancer Studies.

I know 2 people who went their for special treatments.

Fox Chase Cancer Center here in Philadelphia.......

they have clinical trials going on there for advanced melanoma.

its worth a phone call...

Sloan Kettering in NYC saved my fathers life. They are definately the best.



Good luck to you and your battle!

Shemp, thanks for looking into it for Ryan.

We live close by and they are all stressed about this.

Your #1 :thumbsup

My sister did Montefiore medical center in the Bronx on some trial for advanced melanoma. The doctors beofre she went there told her she had 6-8 months and she made it 13 years. Came back and she wasn't so luck the second time.

Best of luck.

The University of Washington Medical Center have some of the best doctors in the world locally. If I had cancer that's where I would go, but definitely keep searching.

We're in Washington State, too.

Try calling Harborview and ask them to recommend.

AND....you've got UDUB....call them. They are a teaching institution...AND..you have Shemp....if anyone knows, he does.

I saw a show recently were they are using flamitobide (sp?) for cancer now with great success, actually incredible success.


Just don't get pregnant while on the treatment.

Having had Leukemia, i know what its like to try to get the very best team of Doctors you can possibly afford. Different cancers require different treatments, so really, a center specializing in advanced Melanoma would be the best way to go.

Hit me on ICQ! I have information for you.

There's also

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Washington State. Not sure where it is, though.
