Rectal cancer surgeon Posted: 03-30-08 19:22pm


My friend is diagnosed rectal cancer. We heard that the Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and the Sloan-Kettering Memorial Hospital in NYC were among the best in north America. Finding a good surgeon is now a huge decision for my friend. Anybody here has any suggestions? Many thanks in advance

Rectal cancer surgeon, suggestion Posted: 05-26-08 00:01am


I am not sure where you live but we are in Michigan. My mother surgeon is located in the University of Michigan Hopital in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Good luck to your friend and support for them is one thing they will also need.
