I found a support site at www.cancercompass.com, where people with brain cancer or their relatives post comments about their experiences with various hospitals, doctors, clinical trials, chemotherapy drugs, etc. I opened an account for myself, and I posted the following question: Have you had any experience with Dr. Omuro at Sloan-Kettering? Did you have radiation treatments at his group? Where you satisfied with the care you received? This was only two hours ago, and the first comment is in - `Beth' says: I do not know Dr. Omuro. My husband was treated by Dr. Gavilovic who I love. He was the kindest, smartest, warmest.... I could go on and on. He supported my family. He gave so much time and had an amazing outlook about this horrible disease. I hope your doctor is as amazing. So, I did some research and I found a Dr. Igor Gavrilovic who is a neurologist at Sloan-Kettering. I do not know if you came across his name. He is also part of the Brain Tumor Center at Sloan-Kettering, and he coordinates the multidisciplinary management team consisting of neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists. He also participates in clinical trials, with focus on novel biological and molecular treatments. If you stay at Sloan-Kettering, his might be a name to keep in mind. If anyone comments on Dr. Omuro, I will let you know.
