That's interesting, Alpaca. Not sure I would like it though. I'm not sure either if my experience is similar with every center here. Sometimes I did have to see another specialist during some of my initial visits, each recurrence, time permitting or the doctor had them come see them/me for a quick consultation in the room like ENT, Oral Surgeon, pathologist, Speech Pathologist, Dietician, but never all at once. I have heard, especially those from out of town, who saw everyone in one or two days. Also, I pretty much knew most of my treatments before the tumor board meetings as one of my doctors was the co-chairperson of such, and said what my treatment would most likely be, and usually were, so that helped.
