Looking for new Doc in Illinois

Hello,
My husband has metastatic melanoma currently in remission. We moved to a rural Illnois town Kansas. We are near the Indiana border about 2 hours from Indianapolis ,3 hours from the Chicago area and 21/2 hours from St. Louis, MO. We are wanting to find a good treatment center in the event the melanoma returns. He is going to see a local oncologist being that we are just in the testing follow up stage. But, his dermatologist recommended we see a melanoma center maybe in the Springfield, IL area. Does anyone know anything about Springfield or any other good treatment center near us? Doctor recommendations would be greatly appreciated also.
Thank you, karen

I’m sorry I do not but I do pray things stay good for you all as they have me for the last 13 years and 8 months. I had melanoma twice in differnt areas and I am still here yeah

Karen,
I know of good oncologists in Chicago and the St. Louis area. Are you
looking for something closer? Also, check www.melanomainternational.org for
a listing of cancer centers.

I would look on the Melanoma Hope Network website as they accredit superior
centres

Hi,

I live in St. Louis,
I had surgery 1 1/2 years ago.
The person who performed my surgery
is listed below. He usually works with Melanoma
and breast cancer.

Suburban Surgical Associates Inc.
Paul Yazdi
3023 N Ballas Rd
Saint Louis, MO 63131

(314) 991-4644

I feel he did an excellent thorough job.
If you have any questions or just need someone
to talk to email me at rkossman@hotmail.com
and I will be happy to give you my phone #'s.
I know what it is like to need a friend. I only check this
email account about once a week. So please email me at
rkossman@hotmail.com.

Thanks

My company has a facility in Springfield so I will try to give them
a call and see if they know of anyone in the area. My sister
works at a hospital in Quincy and I will ask her as well.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks, it didn’t come up the first time.
