I truly understand that choosing a medical treatment center is a very personal decision and usually falls back to when/if an individual has received treatment and it has been successful. Regardless of personal decision I firmly believe to do the research and go to the best for the problem being addressed. Traveling and expense should play a back seat to going to the best for the diease. Of course there are limits as it would lack good common sense to go 1000-1500 miles for a cold or flu, etc. I have been involved in Hodgkins Diease, Stomach Cancer, Lupus, and a couple of other critical care needs including extraordinary surgery and potential serious other problems and through these have sort of developed a theory as to the best approach. BUT again, it is a very personal decision that only the person with the potential problem should be the one to call the shots. Good luck in you quest and God bless you.
