New Option Maybe?

When Joel was first diagnosed we spent days on the computer researching Rectal Cancer and the best doctors, treatments, and hospitals. Our first choice was a Dr Wong at Sloan-Kettering but when we called and tried to set up a consult, he was not taking patients at that time. So we turned to Mayo and our insurance turned us down and we decided to stay at U of M with Dr Huang a great surgeon but she wasn't our 1st choice.

I couldn't sleep last weekend and Joel and I had joined a couple chat boards after he was diagnosed so I was cruising through some posts and came across a new study being conducted by that 1st Dr Wong at Sloan-Kettering. It's very late in the game since Joel's surgery is scheduled for less than 2 weeks from now but who knows, maybe Joel will qualify. I couldn't wait to tell him when he got home.
