The radiation oncologist I've talked to already is at my local hospital but he actually was hired by, is on the staff at, and works in consultation with, Roswell Park in Buffalo, which our local hospitals cancer/radiation facility is now affiliated with. Roswell Park is one of the comprehensive Cancer Centers on the NCI list. It was other people on the oral cancer team at Roswell Park that he consulted with who were split 50/50 about whether I needed radiation.
So actually after going to Dana Farber I really will have some kind of feedback from two CCCs.
