St. Franicis/Peoria, Illinois/EXCELLENT!
Very happy with St. Francis in Peoria, Illinois and my sister's doctor. They will start chemo today. In one week Dr. said my sister would have been in renal failure and dead shortly thereafter. She has stage 4 B-cell.I was pushing for her to go to Univ. of Chicago but I have to say we are all happy with St. Franic from my visist yesterday. They immed. admitted her, completed all important testing with biopsy of abd. tumor and marrow and diagnosed all within 2 days. Haven't heard anything back on my appt. request online from UofC. I informed them she was in the hospital but was told by the Lymphoma Soceity that UofC could act in a consultant type basis in the form of a chart review until she could be physically evaluated by them. I hope they're not getting back because I didn't mark her insurance type. Yes, she has it and I noted this but I didn't put what type it was and I stated I was her sister. Still awaiting their response. 90% cure rate from what the doctor said for my sister. Chemo will be starting today. I am so happy this is still hope and an excellent chance for her to have this even cured
