[quote=Anonymous] I believe the cancer center is MD Anderson in Texas. We know of one woman in our area who went there with Stage 4 Ovarian a few years ago and is alive and doing well today. Then a friend had a builder on a project on her home suddenly come down with a lymphoma and went there, too, for something not usually done. He was there several months, but survived. It might be worth it for your Mom to get two good opinions on course of treatment and also side effects. It may also depend on her age and her overall health as to what she decides to do. Again, just going out there is the best thing you can do for her. It is hard to know whether one should leave their natural support and community to go away for treatment or not. Sometimes large places like that will see a patient and make advice on treatment protocol which a local oncologist can then follow. I will say that b all means make sure your step-Dad knows that your Mom's doctors should deal with any side effects of treatment, too. Prayers for a remission if at all possible. [/quote]
