      <title>Dr's. and Treatment Options </title>
      <description>As I read through the messages, I notice Dr. Kevin Kim at MDACC. I myself starting seeing Dr. Kevin Kim along with Dr. Jeff Myers Ent surgeorn - Dept Head. I can&amp;#39;t say enough good enough about these doctors. They are thorough and on top of all new treatments out there. I now go in every 3 months for Pet Scans and MRI. I have traveled to John Wayne Center in CA and CU in CO. I feel that because MDA see&amp;#39;s so many cases that I&amp;nbsp; have landed in the right place or gold standard of care. &amp;nbsp;I too have received 7 rounds of Bio-Chemo since 2004-2007 along with raditation. I am scheduled for a day surgery in August with Dr. Meyers but just started a couple of experimental drugs for Meculsal Melanoma as of today. Possibly the surgery will be defered. &amp;nbsp;If I can do anything to help or give names and numbers, please contact me. &amp;nbsp;It&amp;#39;s the hardest for the caregiveer. As a patient we go through the process and mourn the pain our spouses, friends and love ones go through to get us healthy. &amp;nbsp;Sincerly, Chris</description>
