should be looking into clinical trials as soon as we have the specific
kind of AML.
Tam is going to check out the oncology dept at usf to find some recommendations
Star works at moffitt and is going to speak to some of the doctors
there to find some good hospitals. some that she listed were:
moffitt
shands (gainville)
mayo clinic
st. Josephs
all childrens hospital
FL, Boston, and DC are all known to have good cancer programs. she
should probably go to an academic hospital. they only take the best of
the best, and they have clinical trials and are on the cutting edge.
We may want to see if she can get into a juvenile type of programs (as
she is 22, juvenile is up to 19 typically)
