He was not. We had an excellent Oncologist here in our town. I guess it is a cancer center, but VERY small. Long story, but the doc isn't there any more and it is closing down. He was the only doc. Politics of the hospital got in the way. They have lost an amazing man. He is deep into research and also has a few drugs he is developing. The community has lost a wonderful asset. This just happened. We will do our follow up with our radiation oncologist (at another local smallish clinic) and pray we never have to face it again. If we do, we will face it head on and conquer again!! With a new doc! :O(
If we had not had 3 children and my 86 year old mom living with us he might have gone to Rochester, but everyone here in town felt VERY confident they could handle it. They were very familiar with oc. So, we stayed put.
If you have the ability to go to a large clinic...do it! Use the BEST resources you have.
