Becky I'm glad you switched to a new rad onc. too, sounds like you are satisfied and happy with him. AlaskaAngel is so right, if WE don't question the specialists, then who does?

I have been blessed to have a great med. onc. (I didn't need rads), who is happy to answer any questions I have, and will discuss any new study, trial, treatment relevant to my case that I bring to him. Sometimes I think he is surprised at the depth of my knowledge, and I know I can credit this site with much of my info.

all the best
