How did I miss this sub-group? Just noticing it now and happy to post info on my "team".

Oncologist - Dr. Garrett Smith, San Francisco, CA. Garrett has an integrative approach to oncology, which I love, and works with a nutritionist, massage therapist, fitness trainer, and Chinese medicine/acupuncturist, all in his office.

Radiation Oncologist - Dr. Patricia (Penny) Sneed, UCSF, San Francisco, CA. Dr. Sneed performed my Gamma Knife surgery to treat my brain mets. She is incredibly knowledgeable, has published widely, and is a leading expert in her field.

Second Opinion Oncologist - I have also consulted with Dr. Michelle Melisko at UCSF several times for second opinions. She is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge on all of the very latest research and clinical trials.
