Cleveland Clinic for multiple myeloma?

by kuntrylover on Fri Nov 21, 2014 10:07 pm

Greetings, all!

I am newly diagnosed MGUS, though I wonder if I'm smoldering. But, for purposes of my question, that part isn't important. And I will apologize now if this isn't the right forum for this question!

My question is: Does anyone have any personal experience with, or heard anything about, the Cleveland Clinic and where it ranks as far as multiple myeloma?

So many trials and specialists seem to be out of MD Anderson, Sloan, NIH, Dana Farber, Mayo, etc. Just not sure if I will be in good hands or if I should be looking elsewhere.

Thanks in advance!

Hello from sunny (not) Seattle,

The Cleveland Clinic is an outstanding, world-renowned cancer center. You will get excellent care there. The other centers you have mentioned are superb, as well, but there is no need to travel any further than the Cleveland Clinic, especially if you have MGUS.

Thank you very much for your reply! I appreciate it!

P.S. Don't feel bad: I think Cleveland is right behind Seattle in the amount of grey days each year.
