How to Choose Your Oncologist & Cancer Treatment Center (Ch. 8)

The team you assemble in the first weeks after diagnosis shapes everything that follows. Here's how to get it right. Jennifer Omholt assembled a dozen medical professionals and six integrative specialists for her own care. She shares how to choose a treatment center (and why teaching hospitals offer advantages), how to find the right oncologist through networks and referrals, what questions to ask — and why you should stay open to the "third option" you haven't considered yet. From JUST DIAGNOSED: A Survivor's Guide to Navigating Cancer by Jennifer Omholt — journalist and 24-year stage 3 breast cancer survivor. Foreword by Debu Tripathy, MD (MD Anderson Cancer Center). Distributed by Simon & Schuster.
