I agree with Minnie. This guy needs to rethink his approach to patients, and more so the successes that we are seeing in the field these days. You have not posted back as to where you are being treated and what kind of institution it is.... but MDACC is one of the best in the world, and has resources that are not available in may other places. Time is of the essence, so you have to PUSH for things to get started as soon as possible. Don't accept delays while this cancer is growing. Doctor's schedules should not be a determining factor to you. Get another doctor or another facility if you run into scheduling problems with someone.
