Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre is the right place for Head and Neck Cancer patients. Arranging appointments with a Nutritionist, Speech Therapist etc is standard procedure at Peter MacCallum CC. Once they have your father�s latest test results they will probably take the information to a Tumor Board within the Cancer Centre where his case and treatment options will be discussed by Surgeons and Oncologists. Tumor Boards meet regularly so treatment plans are provided quickly to patients.
Hopefully they will decide on a plan for him asap.
