The two I see at KUMC are genitourinary oncologist, both RO and surgical doctor. All they do is urinary cancer treatment. It just seems this place is so big and there are so many doctors you just can't get anything done and it takes forever to get any responses to question or appointments or test. Maybe it's because they're just the only ones in the big area that are recognized. Even the nurse Navigator doesn't call back I left two messages in two days.
I have made appointments with two other doctors, one will do surgery or radiation I've never been to him before. The other one has done thousands of prostate removals and many other surgeries and I have been to him before. He's really skilled I guess but doesn't have the best personality, but I'll still go to him and see what he has to say about all my reports.
I never knew things could be this difficult, my wife's breasts cancer and so smooth everything was taken care of from biopsies to surgery within 30 days and kumc, but I guess that ain't the way it is in the urology department. That's really depressing sometimes you just want to tell you the heck with it yeah I'm going to last forever anyway. By the way where did I go to download that go to meeting software? Thank you.
