You are always allowed to push harder where this disease is concerned. I advise you to go "UPSTAIRS" with your concerns. Find out who the administrator is at Internal medicine and insist that Carol get the proper doctor for her treatment.
I have a GP in town here who handles the more mundane medical issues but it is the RO and ENT that handle all of the cancer specific issues.
You are in the system now so be a squeeky wheel. They will respond if only to stop hearing the constant squeeking.
