It sounds like you need to fire that guy and find a center of excellence with more than one radiation oncologist/radiologist who knows what he or she is doing and has done it many, many times. I realize that Fairbanks AK is a location that makes it difficult to go elsewhere. It might be worth the trouble and expense to fly to MSP and seek help at Mayo Rochester. You could send images and lab results to Mayo in advance, do some initial consults via telehealth, and then get in-person appointments in Rochester. Another option is the excellent cancer care consortium in Seattle. Good luck and don't hesitate to advocate for yourself!

Agree 100% with @lag. See better care and Mayo Rochester is a gold standard to go to. Decades of experience, excellent hospital, and great care. I don't think you could do any better than Mayo Rochester.
@solidwater You can set up a medical transfer of your medical records and test to Rochester and a second opinion. I would strongly suggest doing that.
