I'm not saying not to go to a CCC, do so, but long after your treatments, maybe sooner, you will need care that is not a major issue, maybe not even cancer specific, although reoatec like anemia, kidney, thyroid, infection, teeth issues, etc, which can be treated/monitored locally, sometimes required weekly, instead of traveling, possibly hundred of miles, maybe longer, for some to their CCC. Many seen a local oncologist, ENT, before going to a CCC, and may be a good idea to keep them in the loop, not during TX, but after for future purposes, if not, sometime along the line maybe find one, and a CCC can help with that. I do, and after I see my MO, RO, and ENT every three months, I see my local MO to keep in the loop, and for prescriptions, CBC, shots, sign medical papers for various reasons, anything else I may need, who also oversees my care if hospitalized locally, which happened unexpectingly several times. One is not running to the CCC, if not nearby, for that stuff, and I'm close to mine, 13 miles, compared to some living further away. It is not my recommendation, but a professional one I read about, and what some CCC do anyway, treat the cancer issue, and send you back to your original doctor back home, wherever it is, and whoever he or she may be, for care. Mine did for my recent acute kidney failure in May...go see your PCP, which is basically my local hematologist/oncologist. I don't even think my ENT deals with dry mouth issues or anything minor, and is strictly a cancer surgeon. I would have to see the SLP for that. I left one CCC for my last treatment, and was going to be sent back to them after treatment, post scan, but coincidentally, my ENT at the other hospital left for private practice, and did not have any current ENT, although there was a replacement I never met, but I'm sticking to where I'm at now. That's another issue, some use the CCC as a stepping stone, and may not be there long term, but another doctor will be assigned. Since my original treatment four years ago, my MO and ENT left the hospital.
