Doesn't matter! In my case, I initially went to Houston Methodist's cancer center at the med center. A pretty well-respected hospital. My oncologist there was also trained at MDA and in fact was a fellow under my MDA doctor (one of the top drs in his field).
Houston Methodist oncologist told me to pack my bag and prepare to be checked in and begin chemo (pretty harsh chemo). I said hold on hold on let me think about it. I did some research and decided MDA needed to take a look at me first. MDA did their tests (CT, full blood lab, bone marrow biopsy) and MDA Dr told me I could basically go on "watch and wait" if I wanted, immediate treatment wasn't necessary, I was kind of in the gray area. I opted to go with their immunotherapy and have been on that for almost 3 years with minimal side effects (a little fatigue here and there), but otherwise living my life as normal.
MDA has much more detailed specialization compared to the Houston Methodists and Memorial Hermanns of the world.
So I'm just saying, it wouldn't hurt to get MDA's opinion. It may make a big difference, it may make no difference in treatment plan!
