Midwest U.S. We have HIPEC!

Postby Sleen » Sun Jul 26, 2015 12:24 pm

Dr Berri, I just learned this morning, is an MD Anderson-trained Surgical Oncologist. He is the first oncologist in Michigan to offer HIPEC!
He works out of St. John Providence Hospital, in Detroit, MI.

I hope some here might find this helpful.

Yes, this is where I had my HIPEC surgery. There is also a HIPEC surgeon in Omaha, I believe. It's great that there are options for many of us, where we don't have to travel so far. There is a big difference even between driving a few hours versus flying a few hours. Logistically, it's much simpler.
