We visited the University of Chicago today to meet with Dr. Hoffman, a highly regarded oncologist specializing in malignancies of the chest. Dr. Hoffman echoed the sentiments of Dr. Krishnan and offered to refer our dad to a surgical team at the University of Chicago. His first available appointment for a surgical consult at U of C would be Wednesday, March 11th. We choose not to proceed with surgery at U of C, as his surgery at St. Luke's in Milwaukee is already scheduled for Thursday, March 12th.
Dr. Hoffman, too, is wonderful. He is straightforward and encouraging. He offers to review pathology reports from surgery and to serve in a consulting capacity for our dad post surgery, so as to make recommendations for his chemotherapy course in Milwaukee, or, if he were to choose, in Chicago.
We leave this appointment feeling a strong sense of confirmation that surgery is our best course and that all of our dad's medical team is in agreement for him.
