If I needed Rad/Chemo Moffitt would have worked locally, as it turned out I didn't need it.
My yearly checkup is Sept. 20th. One thing I did do this week and I never did before was call Moffitt asking for a CT Scan. I asked my Surgeon's right hand nurse if it was possible to schedule a CT/Scan with and without contrast on my next visit. I want the Scan from my waist to the top of my head. Within 24 hours he got back to me, he saw no problem scheduling it before my appointment and I would receive the outcome before driving back to Fort Myers. Am I paranoid, you betcha.
I love the place, my surgeon, his nurse and all the staff, they are so kind and considerate.
Yes, there is a lot of info on the forums remember one thing you are your own best advocate. You know what's best for you and you know your body better than anyone else.
I hope all goes well with you.
Take care, Connie
