Miami Children's Hospital VS. St. Jude's for Stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma?

stay home. you'll pay TONS for st. jude and the prognosis is amazing no matter where you go. i guess if you wanna be 100% sure and confident with what each doctor is doing, i guess you could venture out to st. jude. i'm 15 and i was diagnosed with stage 3 NON hodgkins lymphoma. they say the "better cancer" of the two is what your son has. non hodgkins has a 90% survival rate and hodgkins has 95% i think ... don't quote me on the percentages .... but anyways, i traveled about an hour from my home every single day for treatment or if i was in pain or something. it was rough on not only me, but my parents. it was far because a) i was in a really good cancer center. and b) i ended up in that cancer center because where my lymphoma was located in my body was rare in children. in my opinion, i don't think it's worth it to go all the way to st. jude's for treatment when you have a pretty good hospital right there locally. if you do end up going to st. jude's you'll probably stay in a ronald mcdonald house or something ... but ultimately it's up to you where you'd like your son to be treated. i'm just stately my opinion. use you're own good judgement when it comes to your kid. God bless! praying for your son! he's gunna be fine (:
