If you get in at MD Anderson they will set you up with a surgeon, a medical oncologist, and a dental appointment. They try to do as many in a day as possible especially if you are out of town. It won't feel like it is moving fast enough, because it isn't possible to move as quickly as you want it to move, but I think on average at MD Anderson you have your surgery (if you are having surgery and I don't know the specifics of your case) within 3 weeks of the plan being agreed upon.

That few weeks will feel like a lifetime, but there is a lot to get done in that time period.

For some people proton therapy is an option but IMRT is more common. You can certainly ask about proton therapy and it is an option at MD Anderson, but depending on the type/size/spread of your tumor and quite frankly some insurance issues it might not be the best option in your case.

Ask your RO (radiation oncologist) about radiation options.
