Friends mom has CC

Dear Daisy – Dr Schwartz was the first doctor we consulted with back when my husband Dave was first diagnosed. He is a wonderful man and made us feel very comfortable, but gave us no hope. He felt strongly he could not attempt surgery nor a resection and immediately recommended Chemo options, primarily Dr Holcombe also at Sinai who he works closely with.
We wound up going to MSKCC for a much more aggressive approach. He disagreed strongly with our decision, and strongly advised against our choice, but continued to make himself very available to discuss the decision we made. I can’t help but think if we had stayed there Dave would only have had the 3 months he estimated.
It’s been almost 2 years so I am not sure how his approach has changed – we just felt he offered very limited resources compared to MSKCC.
As everyone here will always tell you, make sure you get a 2nd and even 3rd opinion.
At the end of the day, your friend needs to go where she feels most comfortable.

Daisy, I have seen patients on here with both of these ONCs . If you enter one name at a time in our Search engine posts on each Doctor will appear. Best of luck to your friend and hope they join us!
