thanks for suggestions, guys.

at least from their websites, "city of hope" seems to be more patient-oriented as they have much more accessible info in terms of admission processes and treatment approaches than jonsson offers. not entirely a good reason to rule them out, but something tells me that this could be indicative of the "attitude," and we're just so sick of medical professionals who treat patients and their families like morons.

question:
in a multidisciplinary centre, do you still have a primary phisician? if so, how do you decide what this primary physician's specialization should be (i.e. a surgeon or a medical oncologist)?

be well.
