Newbie08,

I think that if you are coming across the ocean from Ireland that you should just go to Memorial Sloan Kettering. It is less than a half hour away from Hackensack...

Good Luck with your search,
Karen

Has anyone got any information on Hackensack Hospital in NJ when it comes to Bladder Cancer, we’re thinking of going there for 2nd opinion (have been told it has a good reputation?) Along with SK if we can?

Any opinions would be very welcome?

We're looking to the US because here in Ireland the amount of Cystectomys done are limited and from this website we've learned that the qualtiy of the surgeon has a great effect on the outcome...We'd like a surgoen that has done more than a few surgeries a year.. Do ye think we're right?
