Hello ~ Has anyone hear heard of the Cancer Treatment Centers?
My mother in law was diagnosed with lung cancer in August. She seemed
to be doing great. In fact, on Saturday she was talking about going
back to work soon. On Monday, she had a doctor's appointment and was
told the devastating news that her cancer had spread and they were no
longer going to do treatments on her, as they would do no good.
I had seen commercials for the cancer centers, and decided to give
them a call. They could not have been nicer, and the next thing I
know she is scheduled to go to their facilities for an exam. They are
taking care of everything (flight, hotel, etc). My concern is that in
our desperation for any sign of hope, we are going blindly forward.
If you know of anyone who has gone to them for help, and can share
your experience, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

I hope they can achieve SOMETHING. Two days ago, the woman was
planning to go back to work. She hears news from her doctor that it
has become incurable, and she can't get out of bed. Makes me think
that having hope is part of living longer. I hear stories all the
time about people who have practically come back from the dead. Where
are these people getting treatment?
I just want to know if the place is legit or not. I'm not an idiot.
But, wouldn't you want to make sure you explored every avenue before
you gave up?

They'll find something to do with her, if she's got the money and/or great
insurance.
What do you hope to accomplish?
Sounds like she's already in their grips.
