Hi Pam,
I sounds like a good game plan to me.
In our case the Dr.s seemed to reach a consensus easily about the timing and length of treatment. Things moved very swiftly once treatment was initiated. Most of the treatment took place at a local hospital cancer center. The CO's nursing staff coordinated the other services which included a dietician and home health nurse. Our dentist worked with the RO. We used the same pharmacy to monitor possible drug interactions. Our choices were guided in part by insurance, location and a gut feeling.
I wish you well on this journey--it sounds like you're off to a good start already. Please keep us posted.
