How to Find a Doctor or Treatment Facility @ cancer.gov
The National Cancer Institute's fact sheet, How to Find a Doctor or Treatment Facility if You Have Cancer, offers helpful suggestions for finding: 1) an oncologist (a doctor who treats cancer), 2) a facility where cancer patients can receive treatment, and 3) a second opinion. Included is a list of questions to help you decide whether a particular doctor is appropriate for your needs. If you will need surgery, there is a list of questions to ask the surgeons you are considering for your care. A separate list of questions can help you evaluate which treatment facilities are best suited to your needs. There are resources for finding a treatment facility if you live overseas, as well as information and resources about how to get a second opinion about your diagnosis and treatment plan.
