We were seen by several doctors the day of our appointment (which was for less than a week from when I called) and had the consenses from the tumor board within two days so your experience was very different from ours at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL.
What a blessing and reassuring to have doctors who see this cancer everyday (not once in a while) offer a treatment plan based on tons of experience and NCIC protocol.
