Cancer Drs in Seattle

[richlisad]

Any suggestions for doctors in Seattle? Just beginning to set up a team for most likely some scans, Salvage Radiation, and ADT. Just starting down this path after recurrence. Thanks.

My advice is to forget about a "team" when you are pursuing curative salvage radiation. Too many cooks spoil the broth. You need a radiation oncologist more than anything now. I think Dr Meier at Swedish is good. Use a urologist for urological problems. Save the medical oncologist for use if you should become incurable.

Thanks Allen. Good advice.

EricE has been working with the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and sees Dr. Celest Higano. She has been great and helps manage the care between the different specialist.

Best of luck, Loraine

Thank you, Mrs Eric! Can you tell me what speciality?

[MrsEricE in reply to richlisad]

She is a medical oncologist specializing in prostate cancer. I asked my friend, a physical therapist at the SCCA for her recommendation, and she told me that Dr. Higano is the best.
