While it may seem an unnecessary hassle, I would go to Cincy as well. What kind of insurance do you have? I had Blue Cross PPO so was able to choose my own doctors.

In my case, I had all of the tests done at Stanford and then hand delivered copies of all of the tests to UCSF. In addition, I got an appointment with a surgeon at UCSF and had my case reviewed by both tumor boards before deciding on a final course of treatment. It is worth noting that I did this in an expedited manner so as not to impact the start date for treatment. My Radiation Oncologist at Stanford told me that it is important to start radiation ASAP. I listened to her and as soon as I recovered from surgery I started. I was diagnosed 2/22/08. Had the primary tumor removed by a surgeon on 3/5/08 and started radiation 3/27/08. Interestingly, the two tumor boards recommended different courses of treatment (UCSF did not think it necessary to do the Cisplatin).I ended up having the treatment done at Stanford but was reassured by having my case reviewed by the two tumor boards.

Have a great Thanksgiving! You will get through this!
