Thank you for all the input. Reading each persons signature is interesting and informative.
Although I still do not have an appointment with an oncologist at Penn, meeting with Kemeny at Sloan may be tricky. Treating there would be almost impossible. I did hear from the nurse navigator late last evening and she promised me she would call me with the first cancellation they have. Crazy.
My plan is to set up secondary shop here in NJ at The Cancer Center of RWJ (Rutgers) for systemic chemo but only under the guidance, referral and acceptance of whomever my onocologist at Penn will be. Sister and brother both had cancer (not colon) and we found it was less stressful to do a local drip, Fingers crossed. Lets get a damn appointment before the Holiday!'
Thank you for posting the link with the abbreviations! Getting more and more in the know everyday )) Simple pleasures.
Question please - nurse navigator said probably systemic chemo first for 2-3 months. Can anyone please share there chemo cocktail and regimen? Trying to figure out what to expect. Dematteo said he will do a chest port.
Warm gratitute...
