Ask Experts at Cancer Centers

Has anyone tried the "Ask the Experts" links at leading cancer centers?

I have done this several times for general and sometimes detailed info on treatments being done for patients at those centers.  I just emailed  my husband's diagnosis/bio (including treatment dates and types, CEA, and general statements on what the scans said), and asked what the cancer center's oncology department or that doctor what they would do next, or how they saw the diagnosis and treatment plan. 

I have gotten so many useful replies that have given me info to ask my husband's medical oncologist questions on treatment strategy options. Greenbaum, Mayo and John Hopkins are great to answer inquiries. MD Anderson doesn't really seem to have an 'ask the expert" last time I checked, but lots of useful info on their website otherwise. Wish all cancer centers had good "Ask The Experts" portals on their websites so all the info could be shared.
