Great insight. I find it hard to get that true interdisciplinary approach unless you’re at a Cancer Center of Excellence. Being a disabled veteran I don’t have that option. I’m being treated by a local Urological Oncologist (surgeon) who outsources other treatment options. So i will be basically “punted” to the radiologist in a different office/ side of town. And haven’t fend for myself battling referral/consult approval etc. very frustrating

I am so sorry that you too have to go through uncoordinated care 😔 I do not know if this will make you feel better but my husband is having "care" at CCE center (UCSF), and care coordination so far is far from stellar.
We can not even make appointment with oncologist because my husband does not have metastases (????) . High risk patent, gleason 9, cribriform, IDC , EPE and perineural invasion inside the gland and iffy margin is denied access to oncologist ! 😖 Urologist is supposed to follow his case at CC of Excellence ???
