    I know how great Emory is, but he is in Portland, OR. What is the best way to go about finding specialists to get a second opinion in his area? Is it possible to have a specialist review his medical records or would he need to actually be seen in person?

    Thank you, he is seeing what we have been told is a doctor that specializes in this type of cancer named Dr.Bhardwaj. My dad also has Ulcerative Colitis and Diabetes. The only symptom he has at this point is pain. The tumor has also spread to the abdomen.

    Any pointers on seeking 2nd opinions, he has Medicare and AARP. Should I look into sending him to a specialty center out of state? I am just overwhelmed at this point.

    He does have my mom and siblings in town, as well as other family.

    Thank you!
