I'm being treated at the Lurie Cancer center in Chicago and think they are FANTASTIC. My oncologist is Mark Agulnik. He's knowledgeable about GIST and was at Princess Margaret in Canada before coming to Northwestern (probably about 4 years ago). The center is VERY patient oriented and the support staff is great.
