Thank you Katie B! We are trying decide between those two exactly and then Mayo. I would take him to MD Anderson if he agreed to it but he really wants to try and stay near home. We only know he is stage 4 but not sure why he is stage 4 when we just got biopsy done today but no results?!

Thank you Jim for responding. How is your wife doing? I'm so sorry for anyone that has to go through this. I am so scared we won't even get him to treatment this coming Tuesday. His albumin is low and he is very weak. I just want a chance to get him there and I'm not sure if we will get it. We are at Rush. We were going for a consult to Northwestern as well but stuck with Rush because they were so wonderful from the beginning. Not that Lurie wouldn't have been great as well but there are such amazing people here and I felt the treatment would have been same. I'm scared though we lost time. He is 77 and was vigorous even after our Diana died he tried to stay healthy but then when my brother passed he quickly deteriorated. We are all close in my family so I guess when you love big, you hurt big. But I need to do what I can to save him.

Thank you so much for responding. We need to just start with getting more tests at this point. I was so surprised they just blurted to him it was stage 4 just from a CT scan? Can anybody tell me where they were treated? We are in the Chicago but yes, we will start with his doc! Thank you so much for helping because we are so lost.
