Just diagnosed Teacher

Does anyone know of a good treatment center or team of doctors that I can go to in Chicago?

Re: Just diagnosed Teacher

Dr. Jamie Von Roenn at Northwestern is great and Kellogg Cancer Care Center at Northshore University Healthsystem has a lot of good people and new private chemo rooms at Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview. Northshore also includes Skokie Hospital, Evanston and Highland Park. Dr. Merkel is on top of the latest research in breast cancer and Dr. DJ Winchester is a top surgical oncologist. i'm in the Chicago area too so I'd be happy to be a resource for you if you have any other questions.

Take care,
Carol
