I have two wonderful oncologist. One is local, treats me where I live, small college town, smaller hospital, he's solutions based. Whatever can be done locally to treat my PCa he's on it. Caring, great communicator, and fun. My other oncologist works in a NCI teaching hospital, epically helpful, caring, fun, large hospital, couple hours drive away, worth it, she keeps me up to speed on current best PCa treatment practices. Couldn't ask for two better oncologist for my PCa treatment team.
Discuss dietary issues with both, and they both agree a normal healthy diet strategy.

Thanks for sharing that, @proftom2 -- that sounds like a good hybrid approach for someone who doesn't live in or near a big city with a dedicated, multidisciplinary Cancer Centre (aka "Center of Excellence"). You have the best of both worlds: a local onco in town for your routine appointments, and an expert one a couple of hours away for the new/advanced stuff.

The only challenge would be how well they work together -- it's hard to steer a car with two drivers -- but in your case, it sounds like there are no egos in the way, which is wonderful.
