Taking mom there Tuesday, anyone have any experience with someone with cancer who went there? I think my father is looking for a miracle but I am willing to help them both and drive them. They want to try just asking.

My mom went the SK in NYC and they were fantastic. SK has a great reputation but I don't know anything about the location in Basking Ridge but your mom will be in good hands regardless. I wish you and your family luck!!!

I've never been to SK in Basking Ridge, or in NYC, but I was a cancer patient who went to a specialized hospital in Boston and here's my two cents:

They say it's best to go to a cancer hospital because the docs there have more experience---they have done a surgical procedure hundreds of times, consistently, throughout the year. The nursing staff is more specialized and experienced due to huge numbers of patients.

There tends to be more support services for patients and their families, like counseling and support groups.

Patients will also be able to take part in clinical trials for the latest treatments if that's what you're interested in.

I would say def. go to SK--going into Manhattan for cancer treatment is a bummer.
