One of the things that I liked about the multidisciplinary approach at M.D. Anderson is that even within the radiation oncology specialty alone, before my treatment began, an entire board of radiation oncologists met, examined me individually ( each sticking his darn thumb down my throat ), and as a group looked at CT scan results, etc. and discussed what would be the best treatment tailored to my individual needs. To have this very experienced group of head and neck radiation oncologists putting their collective heads together to determine the best treatment for me...gave me a lot of confidence.
