I've seen my oncologist. I have decided to stay with him, and the Coborn Cancer Center in St. Cloud, MN. I am impressed with him and with his and the center's accreditation, experience, skill, and quality of care. I will have to leave these forums if my decision to do so is called stupid or ignorant, and my confidence in my doctors and my treatment and care are under threat of being undermined by what people say to me here. New information on what I've learned from pathology and staging is now in my signature.
