If you are not satisfied with your current treatment center, try getting a second (or even third or fourth) opinion at another top notch treatment facility. If you are not comfortable then you will always be worrying about "what if". This whole thing is already hard enough and to have a medical team who isnt as supportive as they could be sure makes it harder.
