Hi!
I really am interested in CTCOA. Hopefully, I'll never need their services but I like alternative medicinal ideas. When my cousin's husband was diagnosed back in the 80's, one doctor told her that many cancer patients die from malnutrition.

Quite honestly, I'm not sure. It would depend on their qualifications and their specialists.

I was a tricky case because I needed a Sarcoma specialist and a an Orthopaedic Oncologist. The closest one we have is in Philadelphia 3 hours away. If these centers did not have both of these doctors that I felt comfortable with, I would not be going there.

ETA - I read it as "Would you ever go there". Woops.

The title intrigued me, but I have no first hand knowledge.
Not to be bossy.. , but maybe you should change the title, so in case anyone has any info they won't pass by your thread.

I hope you are okay. I just lost my dad to lung cancer which is why I wish I could help you!
I googled it and found alot. But this might be especially helpful!

I would like to see the answer to this as well.

I hope someone can answer C. Anns question.

My Dad has Stage 4 Non Small Cell/ non Metastasized (sp) Lung Cancer. So far there is "time" according to the Oncologist (I always thought Stage 4 meant it has spread, but my Dads is contained in the mass, who knew? )
