Dear friends,

My parents are very distraught over my recent CT results-2 new liver tumors in addition to small bowel, large bowel and kidney. My mother keeps insisting that I need to go to a "Cancer Treatment Center." I am not exactly sure what she means or expects from this. I am 110% pleased and confident with my current oncologist. With his knowledge and all of the reading my husband and I do, I believe we are doing everything we can and getting the best of care.

Does anyone have any experience with a specialized center? What about the more alternative centers in Mexico and Europe. I had a dear friend go to St. George Klinik in Germany. She came home much more sick than when she left, but unable to tell whether it was just disease progression or a result of the treatments she received there.

I would like any info possible. I would hope to help my parents find peace with this situation.

Thanks,

Jerri
