To help to clarify - my thoracic surgeon, who works in the cancer center and specializes in things like lobectomies for =cancer patients.

I am learning, I think, that this does not make her an oncologist.

So, my meeting tomorrow, with her, I will be introducing the question of "How do we also get the opinion of her respected oncology colleague for the proposed procedures?"

Does that sound right to everyone?
