    Your present oncologist should be able to help you there.....they will have a link to reputable docs all over the country. When it was thought I would be going to Hong Kong..they were able to get me in touch with a physician without a problem.

    Hey Sassy,

        WHere are you located?? State??..I have a wonderful oncologist. Not sure how many new patients he is taking.. Good luck with your search, its so important to have the confindence in your doctor..it makes all the difference. You need one who is aggressive but not doing needless procedures..You need one that is caring and helpful, but that doesn't baby you too much..You need one that will not be affraid to get you into a trial, or try new drugs, but not treat you like a guinnea pig. BUt most of all you need one that will LISTEN  to you, because no one knows your body better than yourself... I have to say mine pretty much fills those needs, so I hope you can find one too..I've been going to mine for 8 years this June. Good luck ...KLynn
