Inquiry: Block cancer center

Fellow cancer folk: Have you been treated at the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment in Skokie? A friend of a friend in California has stage four stomach cancer and is thinking of traveling to Block for treatment. You can describe your experience in the Comments section or email me at SLwisenberg (at) sbcglobal.net
Thanks.
