Colleen,
I’m having my records reviewed at Mayo and have been told I will be connected with a radiation oncologist. I requested to see Dr. Eugene Kwon but I’ve been told I would have to complete my chosen treatment and have my cancer come back before I could see him. I’ve watched many of his presentations through his affiliation with PCRI and wanted his opinion on what would be my best treatment option moving forward. Do you know any way I could get a meeting with him? I’m still considering surgery, brachytherapy/IMRT. I’m currently being treated at Northwestern in Chicago but find the care to be somewhat uneven.
