Good friend of mine just found out he has stageIII Hodgkins Disease. I tried for hours to find out who are the experts on this type of Cancer as it is just as rare as TC but couldn't find anything. If anyone might now who the experts are for this type of Cancer and could let me know it would be greatly appreciated. He is not the type to do the research on his own so I am just trying to help him out. Thanks!!!

You can have your freind try calling Duke University Medical or Wake Forest university Medical Center which both deal with all kinds of cancers. Hoskins is one of wake forests specialties... Both medical institutes are part of the few that have been selected as National Cancer Institutes.. He will be in good hands at either one.....Moffitt Cancer Institute

Thanks Don and Dadmo I really appreciate it. Wake Forest would be perfect if he would have to travel up becuase it is only about 75 miles from him. What are the odds that i would be diagnosed with TC on 5/3 and my best friend gets diagnosed with Hodgkins 3 weeks later; both very rare..Crazy. Thanks again guys.dx May 3, 2006, left I/O May 5, seminoma stage I, RTx16 (24Gy) completed June 26, 2006, all clear.Comment
