[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any updates, OP?[/quote]

A childrens hospital today diagnosed AML leukemia.  I'm not sure if they could test bone marrow or tissue same day, so I'm not sure if this is a preliminary diagnosis or for certain.  Parents are devastated but hopeful.

Friend is not sure how to coordinate a second opinion on best treatment, and from where.  Does the current hospital oncologist reach out to a facility or doctor of parent's choice at their request?  And where/who would be best to chose for it?  Who is the best for children's leukemia? [/quote]

This is very well meaning but the hospital has a dedicated care coordinator who helps guide parents in this process. Don’t try to crowdsource a healthcare plan on the limited info you have, just be the friend and provide emotional support. [/quote]

Last time I sat back with a relative with an aggressive cancer treated at an unnamed DC hospital, rang bell, had no idea how terminal it was (I knew it was) - they died, sort of unexpectedly, from an incredibly common cancer.  now I have less trust[/quote]
