My CCC, Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center is just part of a hospital building on a larger University campus. Space is at a premium and ever since the Jesuits sold the hospital to MedStar, there have been staffing issues as MedStar optimizes profit by reducing staff/patient ratio. I had heard that many offsite oncology centers offer a more pleasant experience. I should have made it clearer that because my wife accompanied me, I did not have a hard time at all. It was much more pleasant than the radiation treatments.

It would be great if your chemo experience is similar to Bill's. My advice is still to bring a caregiver along to see what the staffing ratio per patient is the first chemo appointment. Things were pretty much the same, all eleven of my chemo TX even though the last three were 18 months later than the first eight. Perhaps my chemo experience was unique to MedStar.
