I would assume so also (your theory on doing it fast).

Skye, you know, I had a situation with my oncologist in the beginning. It was in regards to the dosage of the chemo. We had a run-in with it and at first he gave me a very negative reaction that stressed me out somewhat. But with further communication with him, we were able to resolve our issues and I ended up making a negative situation into a resolved situation.

Hang in there. Go with whatever you feel is in your best interest, whatever route that may be. I have always been very proactive with my choices and it is just amazing how things will work out for the best. I firmly believe that.
