Dear rmd1105,
Sorry to hear about your mother. Suggest you call PanCan, an organization that knows almost everything about pc. They will refer you to surgeons and provide you with info as well as a pal for your mother to speak with on the phone. They will match her with someone whose history is similar to hers and will provide support via the phone. Many people believe M D Anderson in Texas is the best place for treating PC; others prefer Johns Hopkins with their 1 day clinic or Dr. Fine at Columbia Presbyterian in New York City. I think PanCan will know all about these and more; they are located in California, phone 1 877 272 6226. Johns Hopkins also has a support board where there are lots of both caregivers and survivors with huge amounts of knowledge and compassion. Someone there may know about the particular tumor your mother has; the board also has a feature where you can type in a subject and do a search which will bring up past messages about the subject. You can Google them since I don't know their exact web address. I hope you find some of this info helpful as you begin your journey down this difficult road.
Best wishes to you and your mother.
Joan
