Recommendation for an oncologist/cancer center

Posted by sos2000 @sos2000, Jan 3 8:03am

I am seeking a recommendation for an oncologist/cancer center in the area of Louisville or Lexington, KY. Has anyone been seen at Brown cancer center/U of L, Markey Cancer Center/University of Kentucky or elsewhere?
I’m colorectal cancer stage 3. Had colon resection in last December and cancer was found in one lymph node out of 17. Looking for an oncologist.
Thank you.

So glad you had the surgery but sorry for the positive lymph node finding. Who did your surgery. I live in Louisville and u of L colorectal surgeon Dr. Susan Galandik did my right hemicolectomy in 2016. Stage 1, no positive lymph nodes so no chemo or radiation. The Brown Center is good, but I would always get a second opinion. If I would have had to see an oncologist, I would follow the recommendations of my surgeon because I trust her, but still would seek a second opinion.
