Nice Dr. otherwise but can't get him to do much of anything. If I hadn't of went to see the Chemo Dr. and he ordered more test to determine if I needed chemo before rads started, they wouldn't even be treating the new areas on BOT on right and left with radiation and chemo and I wouldn't have known that the cancer had already started coming back as this was due to their waiting so long for my treatment to begin. Initially the cancer was found in late March, I had surgery in June and Rad and chemo started Oct.15th. This is what I get when I didn't have a secondary insurance and was unable to go to a CCC for treatment. Thanks, Angel
