      I'm from China and my sister was diagnoased with vaginal melanoma 2.5 years ago and now PET scans and CT scan both show that she lymph nodes in her lungs and her pelvic cavity (which we are not quite sure about ) coz the CT scan on June 30 shows the lymph nodes have shrunk a lot compared with the scan performed on May 31. Anyway, I want to take her to the States for accurate dignosis and for advanced treatment to control the progress of her disease. I am now contacting Moffitt Center at Tampa Florida and also MD Anderson in Houston.

Anyone here who's also got mucosal melanoma could recommend one good hospital for us to go to coz I know without American health care insurance, it is very expensive to make this trip to get treatment, so we do want to make the best and right choice for my sister. Please kindly offer your opinions and thanks in advance.
