Hey again Bambi,
See Dr Wilson for sure. She probably will look at treatment aggressively if it is G3 cis. Instead of the usual hurry up and get it fixed, she looks at long term survivability and the best way to avoid having it come back. Be sure to have her discuss all the options available.
We looked at MD Anderson but our insurance wouldn’t cover treatment for chemo or RC out of state. MD Anderson would have been good as I have family in Pasadena and Dear Park. The other challenge was having two of our kids in school and that getting disrupted. When I talked to the rep at MDA, it sounded like they preferred that I stay in the area until the post op check up before heading home. If the option is still there for a second or third opinion at MDA, get it, I got three and they were pretty much the same for treatment.
I can’t say enough about Dr. Wilson and her staff. When we went in for our first visit for a second opinion, my wife decided she was the doctor to go with.
