Sherri,
I have to agree with Shelley, I too have Kaiser and have had excellent care from them, always in compliance with NCCN Oncology Practice Guidelines. They paid for me to go the UCSFCCC for my RT.

Things are changing at Kaiser. They are building dedicated cancer centers and are stopping outsourcing RT and bringing it in house. No doubt in anticipation of the 36 million baby boomers.

FYI, most of us had 50/50 odds, or worse, (mine was technically 38.2% chance of 5 year survival). Keep focused on risk/benefit and not statistics.

City of Hope is a CCC in the LA area. http://www.cityofhope.org/home.htm
