I presume that you are being treated by a team of cancer professionals, since your treatment regimen is complex and obviously not designed solely by your dentist. If your dentist isn't enthusiastic and compassionate, by all means make some other arrangement NOW......Get someone who is devoted to YOU. You do NOT want to fight the uphill battle of feeling some lack of attention by the person in charge of your treatment!!
