    I have to agree. Haven’t heard much good about CTCA. For profit & all about the money. Mayo would be my recommendation also.

    A lot of people say CTCA isnt the best…..
    Too much “fluffy” stuff. I called them once, and got some info. Called them back and told them no. They would call me a few times a day to follow up. Some people say they are very for profit.
    Mayo, like Kris said has an excellent rep!!

    Hi,
    My two cents: I have heard little that’s good about CTCA. AETNA doesn’t even recognize them for insurance purposes. And Mayo has an excellent rep with cc.

    Good luck and God bless.

    PFOX, how great. I lived in Chandler now Gilbert near my daughter. They are right next to each other. If I can do anything let me know. We are neighbors. I am not sure how much he knows or wants to talk about it but I would be happy to meet with him. I just met Jeeyoung recently and it is so fabulous and exciting to meet someone from the Board. Do you know who his ONC is out here? I just switched, myself (not CC but another rare one) and was very impressed at our first meeting.
    P.S. I took her some of our pamphlets and she just got a new CC patient, 30 years old with a baby. Grrrrrr

    Hi,

    Start withe link below from Mayo web site, fill in the required info.
    In the medical concern section, stated that you request a “multidisciplinary team” of liver specialist/surgeon,interventional radiologist and oncologist consultation of CHOLANGIOCARCINOMA and within 48hrs ,they will call you back for your concern.

    Cancer Treatment Centers of America are good for what they do however, for CC Mayos are right up front. What part of the city does your Bro live in? I am in Gilbert. Also we have an excellent practice here of 2 DOCS. James Cashman and Dr. Koep. Our Bob on this site went to Koep and he is, ummmm I think he is in his 15th year. With that said, you have a much better chance at a place like Mayo where hopefully they will have a great team for you. We need a team for this game!

    Hi all. So I am really hoping to get a second opinion very soon within the week ;) My brother lives in Arizona and regarding ICC is there a Better out of two clinics in regards to this type of cancer? They are both fairly close to my brother but at this time I most likely will only be able to proceed with one or the other.
