Re: Cancer Center in Columbus, OH

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

From people I've talked to here in Columbus, the treatment at the

is very Clinical oriented. A friend's mom was there for a

while and then switched to a different oncologist.

Some people like different types of doctors, so keep that in mind,

plus you have to keep in mind some people are at different stages of

treatment. So what was useful for a friends mom may not be true for

you.

My mom's treatment is going on in the Toledo area, however I live in

Columbus area.

If your interested in adjunctive therapies like acupuncture.

This is the doctor, Dr Wang, I use for back pains.

I talked with him about my mom's diagnosis and he mentioned that

accupunture can help w/ the nausia and pain associated w/ chemo, and

after post surgery. My mom isn't interested in driving down here for

treatment, so thats all I can offer.

If you decide to go for treatment, the forms for intake are on his

website, so you can save yourself some time by printing them out and

getting them filled in before you go.

I am getting treatment at St. Ann's hospital. I decided to go there

over the for a number of reasons. I am NOT recommending AGAINST

the , it's just that I don't think it's the best place FOR ME

(however, I did go there for my second opinion, and may go there for a

third, just to get their opinion). Anyway, I've heard Dr. Shapiro at

the is very good.

One thing you might want to know is that for breast cancer at the

you do NOT go to Columbus. The breast center is in Dublin.

I live in Columbus as well. I am recieveing my treatments through Ohio

Health which is Riverside, Grant and Doctors hospitals. I have been

well pleased with the people on my care team. I have a breast health

care nurse who calls me each week, sometimes twice a week to check on

me and the Oncologist and staff are great.

I had several ask me why I didn't go to the ...this was a

personal decision. The JAmes is well advertised, so people hear that

name more, and this does not mean it is better or worse then the

others, everyone has to go where they feel most confortable and at

ease with their specialists. I was told that all the area hospitals

get their info from the same cancer research. Go where you feel best

and make decisions based on that.
