MD Anderson Doctor recommendation CMML

Can anyone recommend a good Dr. at MD Anderson to treat CMML?

My Dad has been treated at the Mayo clinic for 6 months since his diagnosis and has run out of options there. It has progressed in his skin (leukemia cutis) and I guess the chemo treatments just aren't helping.

Thank you for any input you may have!

my husband was diagnosed with AML back in jan 2011, he has gone thru chemotherapy since then and also has had 5 bone marrow biopsy the last one was done 2 weeks ago and the md indicated that it was not bad, but is counts have been down for 8 weeks and with no chemptherapy being done. Dr's are baffled as to why the counts are still down and we have run out of options.  He known has a blood cloth in his leg legs that requires that he has injections every day for the 6 months or the rest of his life.  We are considering getting a different option at the MD Anderson in Houston tx. any ideas

Definitely go to MD Anderson. You can make a referral on their website, which is faster than a doctor referral. I am being treated there for CMML. My doctor is Elias Jabbour, but Dr. Manero is probably the best. I have been in remission fo 3 years and still doing well. I see my doctor monthly and travel from Illinois to Texas, but it is well worth the travel to be seen by the best.

I would recommend that you see Dr. Garcia-Manero. He is a specialist in the treatment of CMML. I have been out to Houston to consult with him once thus far and I was very impressed with him and the thoroughness of the entire staff in the MD Anderson Leukemia Center. He made recommendations to my oncologists modifying my treatment. It is too early to tell if I will respond as well as I hope I will, but I feel better now than I did before and I feel like I'm in good hands with Dr. Manero and MD Anderson.
