Hi,
After 35 years of practice, my oncologist is retiring. He had over 600 patients and the hospital where I get treated reassigned all of his patients. I have been assigned to an oncologist whose specialty is pancreatic cancer. I don't know the reason for this. My guess is there is a lack of oncologists whose specialty is colorectal cancer that practice at my hospital.
My new oncologist has gotten good patient reviews. I have yet to meet him. So, I apologize if this is a dumb question....Can an oncologist whose specialty is not colorectal cancer treat colorectal cancer? If I decided to change to a oncologist whose specialty is colorectal cancer, am I being too picky?
Any advice?
Thank you!
