Usually when you are diagnosed with cancer you will need the BEST Oncologist/hematologist, and the best radiologist, the best surgeon and the best nurses and nutritionists. You want them to be someone who has seen YOUR kind of cancer many, MANY times and work as a team.


Is Dr. Jon Anderson a radiologist ? Is RBI the one who has full page ads on the back of the POA Bulletin?


I would go to Tampa or Gainesville. I believe that one's chances to survive cancer increase by picking the facility that is sees and treats a LOT of the kind of cancer you have, even if it isn't close to you geographically.


Been there done that and thank GOD had a wonderful oncology group in Cincinnati.
