Please do not let that %^&* even touch you. You are the patient and YOU make the decisions as to what you want to do with YOUR life. No body even doctors need to treat people that way Run from this jerky. I too am a anal cancer patient just starting chem & radiation with hopes to be done by Halloween. I started with a positive Cologuard to colonoscopy with an appointment with a rectal surgeon. But each test that they did they came back with the results a month later At the rectal surgeons appointment she asked if she could do a biopsy I said sure lets find out what this is Can back positive but then blamed me in her report that she went over her time allocation. But the cancer was contained at this point Surgery day set up get to the hospital & procedure was cancelled as time had been moved up. Never a call or nothing if such & such time would work. I left her hanging with this game of hers. And then they had the gall to call me & wanted to repeat all the tests I had just done. Hospital was just looking for money the heck with the patient After 5 months of being kept in the dark this poly now is cancer all because of the 1st hospital that kept dragging me along but never keep one informed
Then went to Milwaukee Wi oncologist & radiologist were great gave good % of beating this. Saw the surgeon there And she said go die or a bag. Tried to explain to her my life style would not work with a bag heavy equipment & large animals I work with Did talk to someone that had a bag & was just a piece of cake his life style was pretty quite to my work style And insisted once I had another MRI she could not tell me the results until 12 days later but her nurse could tell me the same results the next day. Boy that made sense
SO I said to heck with this group & went to Mayos What a difference in how a patient is treated. Their goal to help people to live not told to go die I know this is long but PLEASE get yourself to a real cancer center. Mayos in Minnesota ,Sloan Kettenring New York or MD Anderson in Houston
It's your life their can suggest but I made the decisions not some knife happy surgeon and you can do this too I was told I am cranky but I call it standing up for my rights. You are the patient you get to have the final say

U of Miami. The same.

First class and excellent in all regards

Make sure you have a dedicated team. Surgeon/ oncologist/ if necessary urologist

Also that they have a review board of that team / radiologists all looking at things done at their hospital

Saves time versus good hospitals with just a specialist who then needs to recruit others leading to time delays

So you don’t recommend anyone in Milwaukee?
