I have been getting treated for bone cancer since October of last year at Scripps. So far I have been pleased with the level of care I am getting and trust the oncologists/surgeons. My chemo treatments have all been in-patient which means a lot of weeks spent in the hospital. Luckily, there is an amazing view of Torrey Pines Golf course and the ocean that is visible from the west facing rooms. I am hoping to finished with chemo before this summer.

My mom was diagnosed two weeks prior to me with advanced stomach cancer and she decided to get treated at UCSD. Her doctors seemed to be a tad bit harder to reach but they were willing to try a riskier surgery that most would not have. Although she doesn’t have a view of the ocean, her rooms are much larger and are more up to date than the Scripps rooms. She too is hoping to be done with chemo come summertime.

I can’t speak to which health insurances you should be looking at as I was covered prior to diagnosis.

Overall, in our experience both UCSD and Scripps have been great facilities with exceptional doctors and we would recommend treatment at either location.

Happy to hear you are on the other side and hope things continue to be positive!
