Feeling lost after father’s stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis

@frouke @nancyd823 Yes ... PMCC is a great hospital - I was treated with Stage IV - nasopharyngeal cancer in 2006. And up to now, I am still being seen and taken care of by the medical teams in PMCC - for late effects of cancer radiation, by the rehab clinic for speech, and referred to various clinics in UHN for help in my late effects of radiation.
My treatment is under HNC - but, am sure treatment and medical will be just as great for colon cancer.
All the best & take care!

@josk Thank you very much for chiming in! It's great to hear that you are being given great care at PMCC, even to someone who's new to this they are known as a top cancer hospital.
I'm wondering how you got to be seen at PMCC? Did you start your care there or got referred there by your care team/family doctor? My Dad is currently being seen at a regional hospital that is not well regarded for their cancer care and I'm desperately trying to line up getting him seen at specialized institutions.
I wish you all the best in your journey.

@josk I’m a patient with the UHN for lung cancer since 2019, a very reputable hospital to be helped by, the Toronto General Hospital is third in the world, this surely offers some comfort, best wishes.
