Feeling lost after father’s stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis

@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.

In my case - nasopharyngeal cancer - i.e. cancer at the back of nose - my family doctor referred me to a doctor in Toronto General Hospital (part of the UHN network) who did tests and when diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, I was referred to PMCC, UHN.
Since your dad is lung cancer - perhaps you may want to check if your doctor can refer your dad to the appropriate doctor in PMCC for tests / treatment.
Best wishes !!!
