The best one I know of is the M. D. hospital in HOuston,

Texas. Mayo in Rochester, MN is also supposed to be very good.

Hi Fran,

I am sorry to hear about your Mother. May Clinic in Minn. is good and also M

D is supposed to be good also. I believe Vanderbuilt in Tenn is

among the top 5 cancer centers also.

There is hormonal treatment and also awhile back they were doing studies

using RU-486 which is an abortion pill they were trying butI don't think

they are trying that in the US. It was Canada and France. Bone marrow

transplants are also being used sometimes. Also clinical trials.

I will keep your mother in my prayers.

Hugs
