Great news!
Sloan is a life saver for my husband. Follow-up Ct scan clear and CEA blood work December normal(1.4).
I haven't been on in a while, but my husband is doing really well, thanks to Dr. Kingham.

Yes indeed! We live 5 minutes away from new facility. Construction is underway, and from what we've heard, its slated to open fall of 2016. It will also cut down on time and money travelling back and forth to the city. MSKCC welcome to the suburbs.

Hi Jalusa, Hai pump is for colon cancer that has spread to ONLY liver. My husband had a positive adrenal gland biopsy, so initially Dr. said my husband didn't meet parameters. After 7 cycles of chemo, adrenal gland was "clean". Our surgeon spoke directly to Dr. K and since his burden of ca...

Thanks Julie + Richard. I'll let my husband know.

My husband has finished his 4th cycle with oxi. Each time he gets the tingling/pain in his hands and feet from the cold. He states it subsides about 5 days after the pump comes off. We keep his beverages at room temp and he wears gloves before he reaches into fridge. When it first happened he was ne...

Initially scheduled f...
