SL, Well, I am at the other end of the state, in Kingsport, so that does you no good. We do have a couple guys from the Nashville, Jackson area I think, but can't recall anyone claiming Memphis as home. Maybe someone from there or eastern Arkansas or northern Mississippi will have some info you.

You probably know that the nearest Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) is Vanderbilt. Dr. Joseph Smith is the top name there.

I am from Jackson and had my treatments at Jackson General. I think they have a great cancer program. Early on I went to The Cancer Treatment Center of America in Zion IL. They too were great. I have heard West Clinic is really good.

peace to you

I don't know why someone would want their biopsy sent to someone outside of their treatment area, unless major medical centers aren't located there. I believe we need to have a primary care physician we can trust who guides us to the right urologist and then have the tests done locally. There are many qualified labs in the country, not just one.
