@diverjer That would really twist my horns; doesn’t sound like this center of excellence really IS.
My friend’s wife just had radiation tx at Moffitt in Florida for breast cancer…what a disaster!! Doctors in Singapore (where she comes from) found cancer in 3 ribs and had to do radical mastectomy and replace the ribs with titanium.
The docs there were stunned at the ineptitude of the US hospital - evidently they never did a PET scan.
I guess some CoE’s are more ‘excellent’ than others. Maybe you should get outta there once they tell you what their treatment is going to entail, and get a second opinion somewhere else.
So far your PET looks good so if your Decipher comes back low, treatment should be fairly straightforward…that is, if an experienced surgeon or RO is doing it and not a resident.
Mistakes and incompetence are hard to rectify after the fact!

Like I posted, they did really good with wife's breast cancer and super fast. From finding cancer to removal of lump in a month. Made the trip to clinic about 2 times a week for various test, didn't mind even though it was 150 miles RT. Now on me with a different department in the clinic, I wait more than a month for a single test. Then another month for a followup test that sounds like isn't complete.
