My husband and I went to MD Anderson after he had talked to three oncologists. I do remember when calling MD Anderson it was like you had to be accepted, but once accepted you are always considered a patient.

I am doing the best I can and I am going to get a copy of all the radiology reports from his oncologist and go over them myself, but sometimes I get frustrated with the lack of concern especially with primary care physicians. It seems often they say talk to your onco and then the onco says talk to y...
