What's Next:

-We ruled out Memorial Hospital from the running as they didn't seem like they had it together and they were a bit behind the times when it came to technology and treatments.

-While the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa has excellent doctors, they are not esophageal specialists, so we ruled them out.

-We liked UM's Sylvester Cancer Center, but we'll see how they compare to our 3rd opinion.

-Where's Dr. House when you need him?

-Next week we're off to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York to meet with their team of doctors on Thursday January 11th. He will be retested for everything again from scratch there.

-We're asking them to test the slides for HER2/neu, PDL-1, microsatellites, MOC-31, and trying to better identify the cancer as it is a strange case. It's missing a neuroendocrine stain and an adenocarcenoma stain, so hopefully those will be done as well. We also want a bone scan to determine definitively if it has spread to the bones.

-Hopefully we'll like what they have to say and their treatment plan. If not we're on our way to MD Anderson in Houston and then John Hopkins in Maryland if need be. Fingers crossed and wish us luck!!!

New information as we get it will be posted under the updates section
