Hello Rotor... Just wanted to add my best wishes as you start your treatment. I was referred to Vanderbilt by my local uro and had my surgery there in 2010. I was very pleased with the treatment I received and the knowledge/expertise of the Urology Department staff. I still drive 300 miles just to go back for my cystos because I feel that is where I will receive the best care and monitoring.
Best wishes... Catherine

We are from East TN. Doug saw Dr. Joseph Smith at Vanderbilt for a second opinion. You are in a good place at Vanderbilt. Prayers are with you as you make your decision.
Met my oncologist today at the Ingram Cancer Center (Vanderbilt). I start chemo Monday the 29th of Sept. I will be receiving two meds: cisplatin and gemzar over the next few months.
