My father just got done with his treatments of 5FU, Cisplatinum, and Taxotere.  He was treated at JFK Hospital in NJ.  So far he is clean, no cancer...however he had surgery to remove most of it.

Sloan is pretty much the best...however they're very against surgery.  Surgery is pretty much what helped my dad the most IMHO.  Definitely go for a second opinion.  I would suggest the cancer institute at Robert Wood Johnson in New Brunswick NJ.
