- jcims 4y agoTook my wife to MSK for a second opinion on the treatment plan for her ovarian cancer. They were beyond useless. They wouldn’t say or recommend anything until the current treatment plan (eg round of chemo or surgery) was complete, yet it was incredibly difficult to arrange time with them to review results when that time came. Basically we got nothing from them. Not sure what my point is other than if you’re getting a second opinion, discuss how the provider will integrate their assessment with the existing treatment plan. And at the end of the day it’s the doctors and nurses you get that make the difference in your care, not the building.
- voisin 4y agoI hope that this didn’t negatively impact your wife’s outcome and that she got better care elsewhere.
- jcims 4y agoThank you. We visited Cleveland Clinic as well and received very similar results. I briefly thought about starting a class for cancer patients to help them navigate the medical system in the US. I had to try to learn to fly from the front seat of the plane and it was a bad experience. She passed in 2020, just two years after diagnosis.
- voisin 4y agoI am sorry for your loss.
