I'm not qualified to answer that question. I just want people to know that different doctors can sometimes achieve the same result using different treatment modalities and it behooves them to make sure they as knowledgeable as possible about their options before they start any treatment. I saw 5 different cancer docs and while I certainly wasn't an expert when I picked Moffitt to treat me, at least I was comfortable that Moffitt and their treatment plan was my best choice.
