Thanks. I have had to do most of my own cancer treatments in San Francisco. We will work on getting an appointment at UCSF.

@kakalena Good idea. I, too, was getting soup-to-nuts treatment through my local urology conglomerate, but a twist of fate got me referred to Johns Hopkins for the cancer-specific care. The difference in standard of care for the cancer-specific assessment and treatment is strong. I'm sticking with my urologist because I have a solid relationship there, but only for urology. For the rest, I'm glad to have gone over to a place where cancer is "what they do", they consult with fellow experts about your case, and are affiliated with a teaching hospital.
