Hi Mary,
I go to Moffitt in Tampa. I can answer some of your questions, however, I would have the appointment already set, before I arrived in FL. Once your appointment is set, you can have all the records sent, then a team of doctors meet and review your case and discuss how you should move forward. Waiting until you get here could be a problem. If anything comes up in the meantime just cancel the appointment.
I have been very satisfied with my care, but I never hesitate to get another doctor's opinion in the past. I have had four different doctors review my case in the past 5 years. I went to Barnes hospital in St Louis for one. My doctors have been very supportive in my getting other opinions. (if they were not, I would have found another doctor).
If I can help in any way, please let me know.
Good Luck,
Nancy
