Patti,
When we made the decision recently to change our local oncologist, we weighed the pros and cons and made the decision to change, and we are glad that we did. Our original oncologist (the one who first diagnosed Al on 5/26/10) had always been caring and supportive up until we made this last decision to go to Moffitt. But after we went to Tampa, it seemed like all our contact was through the nurse and we were never able to talk with the doctor directly.
I am glad that we made the change and hopefully if y'all decide to do the same, you will be comfortable with the decision.
I think a lot of people on this forum have sought second opinions.
And you can always go back to your original doctor if you feel the need.
Hope Dean is continuing to feel good.
Take care,
