But Deb....luv you now....

I agree that everyone's situation can be different but the over riding consideration should be where can I get the best possible treatment. Everything else should be a distant second. Now I'm sure that there are treatment facilities that can and do provide great OC treatemnt and just going to a CCC doesn't guarantee the best BUT what I said doesn't change that, taking everything into consideration IMO going to a CCC to be treated will minimize your risks and again this is only 7 weeks out of your life so before I would opt for convenience I would want to make sure, as you and Bill did, that I was not potentially sacrificing long term health for convenience.

Trotti told me post Tx that he had stopped designing radiation plans for other doctors where the treatement was not going to be at Moffitt because 1. he didn't have the time and most importantly 2. he feared that he would not be able to make necessary adjustments along the way. He also told me that just because you have an IMRT doesn't mean you are the best operator of it.

So if you do your homework and are satisfied that you or your loved one will get the same or better treatment locally then you have made the best possible decision but if you have any doubts then stick with the facility that minimizes the risks.
