I had my cancer surgery there just this month.I will start radiation next month.

All I know is that M D Anderson is a great hospital and the best doctors.

I would recommend contacting them to see what they could do for your father.I am glad that I did.

I would recommend you go to the M D Anderson web site and that will give you information and ways to contact them.

Best wishes,

By all means....

Run, don't walk to MD Anderson.  I truly believe that they have kept my husband alive because of their innovative and aggressive treatments.  They are also the best at giving meds to counteract the side effects of treatment.  SOOOOOO compassionate.

Most of the hospitals have facilities attached (We stay at the Hubbard House @ the Orlando facility while hubby is having treatments) for out of town patients & caregivers.

My husband has had many treatments that no one else on this web site seems to know about.

He's still alive & kicking as well as he can.
