My radiation oncologist was a guy named Sidd Padman
I went to Dr Padman also for radiation treatment. And I agree he was great. Easy to talk to and ask questions.
I don't feel the same way about the medical oncologist I'm seeing. It might be time for me to go to a different oncologist. Perhaps my experience at the EJ cancer treatment center is negative because of that.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of cancer did you have?
What oncologist did you see?

Prostate.
I didn't have chemo, so Dr Padman was the only oncologist I dealt with.
Basically, I was biopsied and diagnosed at another facility. Big delay in the biopsy because I have A-Fib.
My brother (an MD) suggested getting a second opinion and set me with Dr Scott Delacroix (Urologist). He drove the train from then on. He was planning on removing my prostate, but wanted me to see Dr Padman first. Ultimately, I ended up having brachitherapy surgery, external beam radiation, and these fricking hormone shots that if I had to do it all over again, I would not take.
I can't bitch. I've tested clean for almost two years now. Still having some radiation tissue damage complications, but things could be a whole lot worse.
For at least a year, I would get seemingly random phone calls from Dr Padman checking up on me. It cracked me up!
