Choosing Treatment
Choosing the right health care team is critical even when dealing with financial and insurance issues.
Many people will get cancer diagnosed, and shortly after, get an operation to remove it at places that are not experienced nor equipped, and then seek further advice as to how or where to go from there. Most of the time, these types of operations may create additional issues and can cause cancer to spread to different areas in the body, especially if the person had solid tumors. Don't rush, you have time to seek a second opinion.
