My mother, who is 87, has been diagnosed with colon cancer after a colonoscopy. I was recommended an oncologist for her. We went to the appointment where she explained what our next step should be. She set us up with an appointment for a Pet Scan and then with a general surgeon to discuss our options - if in fact we have any. I was absolutely shocked by that! I would think that a specialist would be more appropriate. I have checked prior posts to see if there are any surgeons who practice nearby that specialize but the last time anyone asked those questions it was three years ago. Does anyone know a specialist in this field? Thank you.
